Ingredients

Avocado oil or ghee, for the pan
2 slices bread of choice
2 large organic, pasture-raised eggs
Sea salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tbs. minced chives (optional)

Directions

STEP 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

STEP 2

Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil and generously grease the foil with the avocado oil or ghee.

STEP 3

Use a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass to cut a hole in the center of both slices of bread. Place bread slices and circles on the prepared pan.

STEP 4

Crack an egg into each hole and sprinkle with the salt and black pepper. Carefully place the sheet pan in the oven and cook for about nine minutes for runny yolks, or up to 12 minutes for fully set yolks.

STEP 5

Garnish the eggs with the chives and serve with the toasted circles alongside.

STEP 6

Make It Your Way: Swap the minced chives for a few dollops of pesto, a drizzle of chili crisp, a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese, or a bit of whatever condiment you love most.

Garlic-Scape Omelet

Garlic scapes are the tender shoots of the garlic plant that grow up and out of the stem, curling their way toward the sky. Most commercial growers remove the scapes to preserve the energy of the garlic bulbs and increase yield. For home cooks, though, they’re a real treat. Look for scapes at farmers’ markets in early summer. You can chop and prepare them like green beans or slice them thinly and sauté to bring out their delicate aroma. Scapes have a far milder taste than mature garlic.
