Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 2

Ingredients

2 small brioches (about 4 by 3 inches or four 1/2-inch-thick slices from a brioche loaf
5 large eggs, beaten lightly
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
1/4 teaspoon finely chopped fresh tarragon leaves
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 tablespoons sour cream
freshly ground black pepper
Accompaniment:Chive Sour Cream

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F.

    Step 2

    If using small brioches, cut off tops (about 1 inch). On baking sheet arrange tops and bottoms of brioche, cut side up, or slices from loaf in one layer. Toast brioche in middle of oven until golden.

    Step 3

    While brioche is toasting, in a bowl lightly whisk together eggs, chives, and tarragon. In a non-stick skillet heat butter over moderate heat until foam subsides and cook bell pepper, stirring, until softened. Add eggs and cook, stirring, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Stir in sour cream and pepper and salt to taste and cook, stirring, until just heated through.

    Step 4

    Divide brioche and eggs between 2 plates and top with Chive Sour Cream.
