This dish answers the call for “breakfast innovation.” Chef Rose takes the standard plate of eggs, toast and bacon to the next level by serving fried eggs with a creamy yogurt sauce and sprinkling crunchy sliced almonds on top, then adding a side of raisin toast with smooth maple butter.
Ingredients
1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp. dark maple syrup, divided
1 cup sultana raisins
1 1/2 cups plain Greek yogurt
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
3/4 cup butter, at room temperature, divided
12 eggs
1 cup toasted sliced almonds
12 slices bacon, cooked
6 slices raisin toast
Steps
- In small saucepan, warm ¼ cup maple syrup with raisins until syrup is absorbed. Let cool, mix with yogurt and set aside.
- In small bowl, whisk together remaining 2 tbsp. maple syrup, salt to taste, cinnamon and 3 tbsp. butter until combined; set aside.
- In a nonstick skillet with an ovenproof handle, melt 1 tsp. butter over med. heat. When sizzling, add 2 eggs. Season with salt and pepper and cook about 30 sec. Sprinkle toasted, sliced almonds over eggs and place pan under broiler until eggs are just set. Repeat with remaining eggs.
- Toast raisin bread and spread with maple butter. Gently slide almond fried eggs onto a plate. Spoon some raisin yogurt over the eggs. Serve with toast and bacon.
