荷包蛋和帕玛森芝士烤生动che with Pistou

This was the first time I've ever had a poached egg, but it certainly won't be the last. Really really good. I didn't find any Brioche so I went with Challah instead. The savoriness of the Basil and Garlic and Parmesan pushed it a bit more towards a brunch flavor, but we enjoyed it for breakfast nonetheless.

Oh my ... one of the best things I've eaten! Added some fresh thyme from my garden into the pistou. I had to immediately make myself another one. Then I made 2 for my son and he loved it. So flavorful and easy. I will be making this again and again.

My family LOVED this. I used a challah bread and cut a hole in the center of each slice, to make it "chicken on a raft, French Navy style."

I did a very bad thing...Because my husband was working extra hard yesterday, I decided to saute a couple pieces of prosciutto to put on these toasts. Then I got the idea to saute the toasts in the prosciutto fat! OH BOY! These were really good. I don't love basil, so I mixed half basil and half parsley. We loved this whole dish.

This recipe was delicious! I served it over some frisee, and made it a little healthier by lowering oil and cheese as well as using a multigrain bread. I disagree that it's not worth making your own pistou. It took just a few minutes with my hand held food processor, and the taste of freshly blended basil, garlic and oil was much more powerful and delicious than the store bought variety. Will definitely make again... maybe the egg and pistou over a risotto for dinner??

I always like to put a healthy spin on things so I used toasted Arnold Healthnut bread instead of the brioche and went just a little lighter on the pistou and parmesan.

Also, simply used a mortar and pestle to mash up the basil with olive oil and garlic. Added salt and fresh cracked black pepper.

Made this last night-added a slice of pancetta lightly fried, slice of tomato, and placed on a lightly toasted ciabatta roll. PERFECT, easy dinner!

Excellent! I used Challah bread and a Whole Foods Basil Pesto making this already easy recipe that much more so. Considering the results, I'm not sure it's worth the trouble of making your own pistou if you can find a suitable one in the market.

this was delicious! i used thick-cut toasted sourdough bread since that's what i had on hand. personally i thought that the amount of olive oil called for was a bit too much, next time i'll make it with a bit less. i used cracked pink peppercorns to season this which added a subtle flavor and looked nice contrasted against the bright green of the basil. i could see this being made again using toasted english muffins (as has already been suggested) or maybe egg bagels.

So simple, qyick and delicious. I used lightly toasted challah bread and it worked great (one slice for 2 eggs). A winner.
