Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 tablespoons butter
1 clove garlic, minced
4 (1/2-inch thick) slices brioche
4 (1/4-inch thick) slices bone-in boiled ham
8 large eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons shallot, finely chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Spinach Pesto, recipe follows
2 cups baby spinach
1/2 cup walnuts
1 clove garlic, smashed
3 1/2 ounces Asiago cheese, cut into chunks
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large skillet over medium-low heat, melt 3 tablespoons butter. Add garlic and distribute evenly, then add brioche and coat on both sides with garlic butter. Toast over low heat so garlic doesn't burn until slightly brown and crisp. Remove to a plate. Wipe the pan with a paper towel, melt 1 tablespoon butter and add the ham. Cook the ham over medium heat to brown slightly on both sides and to heat through. Remove to a plate.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, and shallot. In a nonstick skillet over low heat, melt remaining butter. Cook egg mixture over low heat, whisking the entire time so the eggs form little loose curds. Serve eggs over brioche and dollop top with Spinach Pesto.
  • In a food processor, pulse to blend, spinach, walnuts, garlic and cheese. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. While machine is running, drizzle in oil until the mixture forms a loose paste. Season, to taste, with pepper.
  • Yield: 1 1/4 cups

I'm not a big fan of spinach, but I'm willing to give this recipe a try. It looks interesting!

I'm allergic to eggs, so I couldn't try this recipe. But it looks delicious!

This recipe is missing some important details. It doesn't say how much spinach pesto to use, or how long to cook the eggs.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really bland. I think I might have used too much spinach pesto.

This dish was a lot of work, and it didn't really live up to my expectations. I think I'll stick to my usual brunch recipes.

The garlic brioche was too dry for my taste. I think it would have been better if it had been toasted.

I wasn't a big fan of the spinach pesto. I think it would have been better with a more traditional pesto sauce.

I had a hard time finding country ham, so I used prosciutto instead. It worked out well, but I think the country ham would have been even better.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The flavors were all there, and it was still a good meal.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The spinach pesto is earthy and flavorful, the garlic brioche is buttery and rich, and the country ham is salty and smoky.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I used store-bought spinach pesto and garlic brioche, but the dish still turned out great.

Absolutely delicious! The spinach pesto added a wonderful flavor to the scrambled eggs, and the garlic brioche was the perfect accompaniment. I also loved the addition of country ham, which gave the dish a nice salty flavor.
