Ingredients- Baguette bread (or your favorite bread like sandwich bread, morning roll, or ciabatta)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 handful fresh chives, finely chopped
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1 Tbsp basil pesto OR strawberry jam
- Thinly sliced pickled cucumber OR pickled plum
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, slice the baguette into sandwich-sized portions. Then, cut each piece in half horizontally. Feel free to use any bread you like, such as sandwich bread, morning rolls, or ciabatta!
Step 2
Toast the bread slices lightly using an air fryer, toaster, or a frying pan until golden brown and slightly crisp. This step enhances the texture and flavor of your sandwich. Adjust the toasting time based on your preference and the bread type.
Step 3
In a bowl, whisk the two eggs until well combined. Add the finely chopped fresh chives to the egg mixture. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. The aromatic chives will add a wonderful flavor dimension to the eggs.
Step 4
Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat and add a little cooking oil. Pour in the seasoned egg mixture. Gently stir and cook the eggs, scrambling them until they are soft and fluffy. Cooking over low heat prevents the eggs from becoming dry and rubbery, ensuring a tender texture.
Step 5
Spread butter thinly on one half of the toasted baguette. On the other half, spread either basil pesto or strawberry jam, depending on your desired flavor profile.
Step 6
Generously spoon the prepared chives scrambled eggs onto the buttered side of the bread. The creamy scrambled eggs combined with the fresh chives create a delightful base for the sandwich.
Step 7
Arrange the thinly sliced pickled cucumber or pickled plum slices over the scrambled eggs. These additions provide a refreshing tang and a hint of saltiness, balancing the richness of the eggs and the sweetness of the jam or pesto. This step elevates the overall flavor complexity of the sandwich.
Step 8
For an extra layer of freshness and crunch, you can add lettuce or other salad greens on top of the pickles or plum. Finally, place the other half of the baguette on top to complete your delicious Chives Scrambled Egg Sandwich. Enjoy this wonderful combination of sweet and savory flavors!
