Eggs Caviar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon Cognac (Pierre Ferrand 1840 is our go-to, but a little Hennessey never hurt nobody)
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons sour cream or labneh
- 2 grams of your favorite caviar or roe
- 1 slice sourdough or pumpernickel rye bread, toasted and buttered
- Gently whip the eggs with a fork.
- Heat a saucepan over medium heat, then add the Cognac and butter (they should sizzle/simmer immediately). Add the eggs and whisk constantly-working on and off the heat in order to develop the curds little by little and prevent the eggs from sticking or otherwise overcooking at the base of the pan-until the eggs begin to resemble a soft scramble. Add 1 tablespoon of the sour cream and stir to incorporate, letting the eggs sputter and pop a few times on the heat. Barely fold in the remaining sour cream (some streaks should still be visible).
- Top the buttered toast with plenty of soft scrambled eggs and a heaping spoon of the caviar. Or pour eggs in a bowl and top the whole thing with the caviar, use the toast as a spoon, and knock yourself out.
