Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices Brioche bread
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 4 slices Sharp cheddar cheese
- 4 tbsp Butter
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Use a round biscuit cutter or the rim of a small glass to cut a hole (about 2 inches in diameter) in the center of each brioche slice. Reserve the cut-out pieces for another use or toast them for serving.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Let it melt and coat the pan.
Place one slice of brioche into the skillet. Crack an egg into the hole in the bread, taking care not to break the yolk. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over the egg.
Cook the egg-in-toast for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom of the bread is golden brown and the egg whites start to set.
Flip the bread carefully using a spatula, taking care not to spill the yolk. Place a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the toast as it cooks on the second side.
Cook for another 2 minutes, or until the underside is golden and the cheese begins to melt. The yolk should remain runny in the center. If you prefer a fully cooked yolk, cover the skillet with a lid to cook it through.
Repeat the process for the remaining slices of brioche and eggs, adding 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet each time.
Serve the Eggs Rothko immediately while warm, optionally with toasted brioche cut-outs or a side of greens.
