Ingredients
- 2 fresh eggs
- 1 tbsp olive oil or butter
- 2 slices of sourdough or brioche, toasted
- 2 tbsp Muria Pepper No. 1 Preserve
- ½ tsp fresh chives, finely chopped
- Flaky sea salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Optional: A pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat
Instructions
-
Heat & Crisp
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil or butter. Once hot, gently crack in the eggs, ensuring the yolks remain intact. -
Perfect the Edges
Allow the eggs to cook without flipping, letting the edges crisp up while the yolk stays golden and runny. If needed, spoon some hot oil over the whites to set them faster. -
Drizzle with Heat
Once the whites are set and crispy, carefully transfer the eggs onto warm toasted sourdough or brioche. Immediately spoon a generous layer of Muria Pepper No. 1 over the top, letting the preserve’s sweet heat melt into the yolk. -
Finishing Touches
Sprinkle with flaky salt, black pepper, and fresh chives for a restaurant-quality finish. If you like a little extra spice, add a pinch of red pepper flakes. -
Serve & Savor
Best enjoyed immediately, letting the buttery toast soak up the jammy yolk and glossy glaze. Serve alongside your favorite morning coffee or a refreshing citrus mimosa for the ultimate start to your day.
Pro Tip:
For the ultimate crispy edges, splash a few drops of water into the skillet right before the eggs finish cooking, then immediately cover with a lid for 10-15 seconds. This traps steam, helping the whites set while keeping the yolk perfectly runny—restaurant-style perfection every time.
Why This Works
The crunch of the toast, the silkiness of the yolk, and the sweet heat of Muria Pepper No. 1 create an addictive bite every time. Whether you’re a brunch aficionado or just upgrading your morning eggs, this dish is simple, yet endlessly indulgent.
