Special Diets:
Ingredients
- 2 slices brioche loaf, each about 3/4-inch thick
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 large eggs
- Chives for garnish
- 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt
- Ground black pepper to taste
Method
Using a large (2.5- or 3-inch) heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out a heart from the center of each slice of brioche. Or, use a paring knife to cut the heart shapes.
Reserve slices and hearts.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the slices and the heart cutouts to the pan and cook until slightly toasted.
Turn slices and cutouts; carefully break an egg into the center of each slice.
Cover the skillet and cook until the egg white is just set and the yolk is cooked to your liking, 3 to 4 minutes.
Carefully transfer a slice and a cutout to each of 2 plates and snip some chives over the top.
Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Serve immediately.
