Eggs with brown butter

Eggs with brown butter is a simple yet luxurious dish that elevates ordinary eggs with a deep, nutty richness.  As the butter melts and browns in the pan, it develops a toasty aroma and a complex flavour, adding a caramelized depth to the eggs.  It enhances their natural creaminess of the eggs with a touch of indulgence.

The dish’s richness can be further highlighted with a sprinkle of flaky salt and fresh herbs such as chives or thyme, making it a perfect combination of simplicity and decadence.

Serve as a supper dish, as a starter or as a tapas dish.
