Lobster Topped Poached Egg on Savory French Toast
I’ve been kicking around the idea of Savory French Toast for some thyme now. It’s the herbs. They are insistent that they’ll elevate every meal of the day. And they are always right. Our savory French toast became the perfect platform for our decadent and extra special brunch this morning. Lobster Topped Poached Egg on Savory French Toast. Spiritual.
Fresh snipped herbs added into the egg/cream mixture become pleasant bursts of flavor. As I travel down this cooking path one of the most important things I’ve learned is to add flavor. Don’t miss the opportunity to nuance a recipe with a bit of something unexpected.
Herbs are an easy way to do this, but so are spices. A pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon, a touch of cayenne when you least expect it, and even a dash of maple syrup added to an otherwise savory sauce can leave your taste buds longing for more.
Our Lobster Topped Poached Egg on Savory French Toast is rich and indulgent. And worth every mouth-pleasing, soul-soothing bite.
See our post on Oven Baked Lobster Tails for complete instructions on preparing the lobster for this dish.
