Scrambled Eggs with Truffles in Brioche
Flavors of France
Total time: 30 to 60 minutes
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 25 minutes
Refrigeration time: 6-24 hours
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients
Ingredients for 4 servings
- 60 g (2 oz.) Black Truffles, in pieces or shavings
- 1 loaf of brioche sandwich bread
- 6 Eggs
- 80 g (1/3 cup) butter
- Salt and ground black pepper (5 peppercorns)
Method

The day before

  1. Beat the eggs. Season with salt and pepper. Mix in the thinly sliced truffles, setting aside 4 slices for garnish. 
  2. Add 30 g (1 oz.) diced butter and mix well. Place in a sealed Tupperware container in the fridge for 6-24 hours. 

The day of serving

  1. Remove the crusts from the bread. Cut into 4 even cubes and 8 sticks for garnish. 
  2. Hollow out the cubes with a sharp knife and brown them on all sides in a skillet. Keep warm with the serving plates. 
  3. Cook the truffle-egg mixture in a double boiler over simmering water. Whisk constantly, watching that it doesn't stick to the bottom. The mixture will not thicken for about 15-20 minutes. Remove from the heat while still slightly creamy. 

Tin
Once the scrambled eggs are ready, serve immediately.
