Slice the onions into thin half-moons; chop the parsley.
Melt the butter in a small pan over medium-low heat, add the onions, and caramelize for 8 minutes, stirring often.
Sprinkle the red pepper flakes over the onions and stir for 30 seconds more to bloom them in the fat.
Spread the onions around the pan and open small wells in the center; crack in the eggs and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 4 minutes, until the whites set while the yolks stay runny.
Remove the pan from the heat, scatter parsley and sumac over the top, and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Cook the onions slowly over medium-low heat; caramelization is the signature of the dish, and rushing it makes the onions scorch and taste bitter. After cracking the eggs into the pan, avoid stirring too much so the yolks stay in soft pieces.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Bring the pan directly to the table, scatter parsley and extra sumac on top, and serve with hot village bread for wrapping.
