- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 2-3 tablespoons high-quality caviar
- Fresh chives or microgreens for garnish
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Brioche: Lightly toast the slices of brioche until golden brown. While still warm, rub the toasted bread with freshly grated lemon zest and brush lightly with olive oil. Set aside.
- Poach the Eggs: Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer and add the vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl and slide them one by one into the simmering water. Poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolk is still soft. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
- Assemble the Dish: Place a poached egg on each slice of lemon zest brioche. Top each egg with a small spoonful of caviar, allowing the pearls to sit delicately on the surface of the egg.
- Garnish: Sprinkle the dish with finely chopped chives or microgreens, and finish with an extra sprinkle of lemon zest and a light drizzle of olive oil.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately, with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad for a complete, elegant breakfast.
