Herbed Yellow Pepper Scrambled Eggs with Chive Sour Cream on Brioche image

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 small brioches (about 4 by 3 inches or four 1/2-inch-thick slices from a brioche loaf
5 large eggs, beaten lightly
1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
1/4 teaspoon finely chopped fresh tarragon leaves
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch dice
2 tablespoons sour cream
freshly ground black pepper
Accompaniment:Chive Sour Cream

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F.
If using small brioches, cut off tops (about 1 inch). On baking sheet arrange tops and bottoms of brioche, cut side up, or slices from loaf in one layer. Toast brioche in middle of oven until golden.
While brioche is toasting, in a bowl lightly whisk together eggs, chives, and tarragon. In a non-stick skillet heat butter over moderate heat until foam subsides and cook bell pepper, stirring, until softened. Add eggs and cook, stirring, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Stir in sour cream and pepper and salt to taste and cook, stirring, until just heated through.
Divide brioche and eggs between 2 plates and top with Chive Sour Cream.
