Soft-Scrambled Eggs on Toast with Roasted Fingerling Potatoes and Bacon
These are the perfect soft and creamy eggs. They take a little bit of time to cook over such a low heat, but the end-product is really unlike any other! There’s a hit of lemon juice that perfectly brightens up the whole dish turning a simple breakfast concept into an elevated breakfast dish!
Ingredients:
4-5 small fingerling potatoes, halved or quartered
1 strip of bacon, cut into lardons
3 eggs
Salt and pepper
Paprika
Chili powder
Garlic powder
Onion powder
1 Lemon
3 ½ tbsp of butter, divided
1 slice of bread
Grated parmigiano reggiano
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 425℉.
Halve or quarter your fingerling potatoes. Spread potatoes on a sheet tray and coat with a high smoke point oil (like canola). Season with salt, pepper, a dash of paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, and onion powder. Toss with your hands to coat evenly and roast in the oven for 20 minutes. Flip potatoes and turn with a spatula to encourage browning on multiple sides and roast for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown and tender.
Chop bacon into lardons. Place bacon lardons into a cold, small, nonstick skillet. Heat skillet over medium heat until the bacon has browned and the fat has rendered. Remove bacon from the skillet and drain on a paper towel. Reduce heat to low, let the pan cool slightly off-heat.
Whisk three eggs together until fully homogeneous. Add 1 tbsp of butter to the skillet with bacon fat, return the pan to the burner, and gently melt the butter-- you do not want the pan to be too hot. Add beaten eggs to the skillet and using a heatproof spatula or whisk, constantly agitate the eggs over a low heat. The goal is to achieve very small, soft curds. When the eggs begin to set up, season with salt and pepper. Slowly add 2 tbsp of butter, cut into small cubes, to your scrambled eggs and continually agitate the eggs until fully incorporated. Remove from heat.
Toast your bread and top with the remaining ½ tbsp of butter. Pour scrambled eggs over your toast and top with a squeeze of lemon juice. Place roasted potatoes on your eggs and finish with grated parm.
