The second re-introduction to this style of egg cookery was through Ludo Lefebvre, who has an amazing French-style omelet (recipe coming to the blog one day) with a pale yellow outer shell and a soft, creamy interior. Between these scrambled eggs and that omelet, many a breakfast and lunch were had by me.
Fast forward to Ina Garten on Katie Couric’s podcast (literally the only reason I listened to her podcast) where she talked about cooking soft, creamy scrambled eggs with m-f’ing truffle butter. I’m dead. Lucky for me, that recipe made it’s way onto Food Network-I quickly bought some truffle butter, procured the freshest eggs I could find and set to making them.
Truffled Scrambled Eggs on Brioche
- Yield: 2 servings 1x
Description
Ultra-creamy, soft scrambled eggs with sautéed mushrooms, truffle butter and minced chives make the best breakfast, lunch or dinner. Serve these atop toasted brioche for the full French experience!
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter, divided
- 6 cremini mushrooms, washed, caps trimmed and minced
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons white or black truffle butter
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives
- 2 slices brioche bread, toasted
- Flaky sea salt, to finish
Instructions
- Preheat a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon of the butter; once melted, add the minced mushrooms and sauté for 3 to 4 minutes, until softened and most of the liquid has dissolved. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- In a medium mixing bowl, crack the eggs, add the heavy cream, and whisk thoroughly to combine; there should be no white streaks, and the mixture should be completely homogenous. Season with salt and pepper.
- Reduce the heat in the skillet to medium-low and add the remaining 1-1/2 tablespoons butter and the eggs. Allow the eggs to warm slowly, stirring frequently with a spatula to keep the eggs moving for several minutes until the mixture begins to thicken. This could take about 3 to 5 minutes. Once the eggs have thickened and begin to form curds, stir constantly with the spatula and fold the eggs around until the eggs form small, soft and custardy curds. Add the truffle butter, and fold into the eggs. Stir in the fresh chives. Divide the eggs onto the toasted brioche and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
