Steps:
- Puree basil, garlic, and oil in mini processor until very smooth. Season pistou to taste with salt and pepper.
- Add enough water to medium skillet to measure 1 1/4 inches. Sprinkle salt generously into water. Bring water to simmer over medium heat. Crack eggs 1 at a time and gently slip into water. Cook until egg whites are just set and egg yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes.
- Place hot toasts on plates. Top each with Parmesan. Using slotted spoon, transfer 2 eggs, well drained, to each piece of brioche. Sprinkle eggs with salt and pepper. Drizzle with some of pistou and serve.
Tips:
- To ensure perfectly poached eggs, use the freshest eggs possible. Older eggs are more likely to have a wider, weaker albumen, which can result in a less cohesive poached egg.
- Use a large saucepan or skillet to poach the eggs. This will give the eggs enough room to cook evenly without overcrowding.
- Bring the water to a gentle simmer before adding the eggs. If the water is boiling, the eggs will cook too quickly and the whites will become tough.
- Use a slotted spoon to carefully lower the eggs into the simmering water. Do not drop the eggs in, as this can cause them to break.
- Cook the eggs for 2-3 minutes, or until the whites have set and the yolks are still runny. The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the eggs.
- Remove the eggs from the water with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- While the eggs are cooking, make the pistou. To make the pistou, simply combine the parsley, basil, garlic, pine nuts, olive oil, and salt and pepper in a food processor or blender and pulse until smooth.
- To serve, toast the brioche slices and top each slice with a poached egg, a spoonful of pistou, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
Conclusion:
This dish is a delicious and easy way to enjoy poached eggs. The poached eggs are soft and runny, the pistou is flavorful and herbaceous, and the Parmesan cheese adds a touch of richness. This dish is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
