Pearl Onion and Sweet Pepper Skillet

Frozen pearl onions are cute and easy to use—no peeling required! But the little alliums require a bit of love to make them as tender and sweet as possible. In this one-skillet recipe—which is just as great for brunch as it is a simple vegetarian dinner—you’ll cook through their firm, dense layers by braising them quickly with butter, sugar, and salt. The result is a panful of glazy, well-seasoned onions that play nicely with sweet peppers and runny steamed eggs.
