Cooking Steps

SAVE IT

Now, heat up a pan over medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter until it’s bubbling gently, because nothing says comfort like butter doing its thing.

Add the 2 cups of fresh spinach that’s already washed, dried, and roughly chopped, and sauté it for about 2-3 minutes until it wilts down into a vibrant green pile – think of it as the healthy sidekick that sneaks in without stealing the show.

Once that’s done, pour in your egg mixture and stir slowly with a spatula, cooking for another 2-4 minutes until the eggs are just set but still soft and fluffy, avoiding that rubbery disaster we all try to dodge.

1. While the eggs cook, pop those 2 slices of brioche bread into a toaster and aim for a golden brown crunch, because plain bread just doesn’t compare to this eggy delight.
2. Once everything’s ready, plate the scrambled eggs and spinach on top of the toasted brioche for a stack that’s as visually appealing as it’s tasty.
3. Give it a final sprinkle of salt and pepper if needed, then sit back and enjoy the harmony of flavors that make this dish feel like a little morning celebration.

Tips and Variations

SAVE IT

If you’re diving into truffle scrambled eggs on brioche, remember that a little truffle oil goes a long way—start with just a teaspoon if you’re worried about overwhelming the delicate eggs, because who wants their breakfast tasting like a fancy forest floor?

For variations, swap the spinach for peppery arugula or earthy mushrooms to mix things up, or if you’re aiming for something lighter, use whole grain bread instead of brioche and cut back on the butter to keep it from feeling too indulgent; one might even toss in a handful of cherry tomatoes for a juicy pop, turning a simple meal into a colorful adventure that teases your taste buds without the fuss.

And hey, if truffle oil feels too extravagant, a dash of garlic powder can fake that sophisticated vibe, saving your wallet while still delivering that “ooh, what’s that?” moment.
