the remaining 1 1/2 cups onions, the remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and the
remaining 1 teaspoon black pepper. Cook, stirring, for two minutes.

brown, about 8 minutes.

browns, for two minutes. One by one, crack the eggs over the mixture, placing them about 1/4 inch apart, reduce the heat to low, cover, and
cook until the eggs are set, 7 to 8 minutes.

serving plate and top with a wedge of corned beef hash with an egg.
