Decadent Yet Easy Truffled Egg Toast
This is a popular brunch item dish you will find in many upscale bistros, but it will also be served as an appetizer at lunch or dinner.
Servings 1 serving
Ingredients
- 1 slice bread cut at least 1" thick and squared
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 tsp. unsalted melted
- 1/4 cup Fontina cheese grated (or other cheese)
- 1 tsp. truffle oil (or olive oil if you don’t have any)
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 1 pinch black pepper, freshly ground
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
- Cut the crusts off the bread and lightly brush melted butter/oil on the sides of the bread.
- Using a sharp knife cut a shallow square well into the centre of the bread, by cutting an outline and then scooping out the middle.
- Butter an oven safe frying pan or well-used baking sheet (it could get messy), and place the bread on the buttered surface.
- Distribute the cheese evenly around the well, then carefully add the egg yolks on top.
- Bake for 3minutes or until the cheese has melted, the bread has toasted, and the eggs have set a bit.
- Remove from the oven, stir the runny yolks and drizzle the truffle oil on the surface. Finish with the salt and pepper on top.
- Serve hot and enjoy the yolky goodness.
