Rich truffle butter and a heap of radicchio di Treviso put this "toast 'n' eggs" in a class of its own.
Ingredients
4 servings
Step 1
Preheat broiler.
Step 2
Cook radicchio with salt and pepper in oil in a deep 10-inch skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm, loosely covered. Wipe skillet clean.
Step 3
Fill skillet with 1 1/4 inches cold water. Add vinegar and bring to a simmer.
Step 4
Break 1 egg into a cup, then slide egg into simmering water. Repeat with remaining 3 eggs, spacing them in skillet, and poach at a bare simmer until whites are firm but yolks are still runny, 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 5
Toast bread, then spread one side of each piece with truffle butter and cover with cheese. Broil toast on a baking sheet 4 to 6 inches from heat until cheese is just melted.
Step 6
Divide toast among 4 plates, then top with radicchio and poached eggs. Season with salt and pepper.

Back to TopI'd give this a 3/4 ONLY if you like radicchio or very bitter flavors. My husband gave it a 2/4. The bitterness of the radicchio was quite overwhelming, although it was an appropriate contrast to the richness of the fontina, truffle, and egg. I should note we did not use truffle butter but instead plain butter with black truffle salt since that's what we had.

Easy and tasty. I sprinkled a tiny bit truffle salt on the buttered toast and the rest as in the recipe. Nice texture and the truffle is a nice surprise under the cheese.

We ate this as a dinner with a warm spinach salad on the side. Instead of truffled butter, I buttered the toast (Italian bread) and then brushed it with truffle oil, which worked well. The textures are wonderful and the egg makes it taste nice and rich. A pretty quick recipe!

I agree--this is excellent, and my husband and I eat it for dinner or a celebratory lunch. We've used truffle butter and truffle-infused oil-- either works.

这是一个美妙的方式开始你的一天。令人惊异的combination of flavors but not too rich. Definitely do not skip the vinegar in the water for the poached eggs...works beautifully and the eggs look spectacular. This would make a wonderful holiday breakfast dish that's elegant but not too time consuming. Would absolutely make again.
