French Scrambled Eggs With Truffle Oil

These creamy, custardlike scrambled eggs from Elisabeth Daniel sommelier Peter Birmingham have a luxurious flavor. They are perfect for those 3AM breakfasts when you need something quick and are not quite ready to go to bed. Bring your friends and that special someone into your kitchen and whip these puppies up. The rich, ripe Chardonnay fruit and yeasty aroma of the 1996 Schramsberg Blanc de Blancs sparkling wine make it a real friend to truffles. The wine's creaminess and balance also perfectly match the sumptuous eggs.

Great way to cook eggs. It took a little while-but maybe I had the water simmering too low? Anyway, it didn't matter because I was cooking Latkes while I was tending the eggs. They are very soft, fluffy, and delicious. The toppings went really well with the eggs-I followed as directed and the white truffle oil, the sea salt, pepper, and chives went very well together. The only thing I didn't do was serve with brioche.Reply

I absolutely recommed this recipe. If you love eggs, you got try this one. This makes a nice soft egg like you'd get in a restuarant and the truffle oil added to the creaminess. I love breakfast for dinner. I sprinkled chopped green onions on mine served with sausage patties and tortillas and a sliced avocado on the side. This was a pleaser with my boys! Thanks for sharing, I'll be making this over and over again. ~VReply
