Steps

1

Cook Eggs

Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water and cook for 6-7 minutes for perfectly soft-boiled eggs. Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath to stop the cooking process.

2

Toast Brioche

While the eggs are cooking, melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. Toast the brioche slices on both sides until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

3

Assemble and Serve

Carefully peel the soft-boiled eggs. Place two toasted brioche slices on a plate, then top each with a soft-boiled egg. Grate fresh truffle over the eggs, then sprinkle with chopped chives, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately.

Extra Tips

For perfect soft-boiled eggs, use fresh, room-temperature eggs and immediately chill them in an ice bath after cooking.

To enhance the truffle flavor, gently warm the brioche slices before serving.

If fresh truffle is unavailable, you can use truffle oil, but add it sparingly as its flavor is intense.
