Cook the onions for about 15 to 20 minutes until they are caramelized. Make sure to stir the onions occasionally. If they are looking dried out or sticking to the pan, add a bit of beef broth or water for some moisture. When they are almost finished cooking, add in some chopped broccolini.

Now it’s time to assemble your flatbreads! Place three whole wheat naan flatbreads (or any regular whole wheat flatbreads) onto a baking sheet. Sprinkle them with swiss cheese and top with the caramelized onions and broccolini. Crack two eggs on each flatbread and season them with black pepper.

 Bake everything for about 10 to 15 minutes or until the egg yolks are cooked. Garnish with thyme and enjoy!
