"This recipe has at least an 8 yr history w/me. It was originally entered at our prior cooking site, but I cannot tell you exactly when as I was unable to find that info. I can tell you it was 1st reviewed in Dec 2008. When I found out Culinary Quest #3 would visit NY City, I decided to transfer the recipe here for play in that event. The easiest way to share info about the recipe is to simply repeat the original Intro, so here it is: You are a captive audience when aboard a plane flying over the No Atlantic for 6-8 hrs. BUT IcelandAir has a monthly travel magazine I have always found interesting. While thumbing thru it last month, I read an article titled THE SACRED ART OF BRUNCH that touted 3 restaurants where you could enjoy a “proper, long, drawn-out weekend brunch in NY City”. 1 of them was aptly named EGG where Chef George Weld was said to serve the hands-down, best brunch in Williamsburg w/specialties from his So Carolina upbringing. The EGG website shared this 1 recipe & described it as “budget-friendly, kid-friendly, quick & easy”. They must be continuing to do things right because EGG is still open today & EGGS ROTHCO is still on their menu, altho now it is paired w/candied bacon. ENJOY!"

Step by Step Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to broil. Melt 1 tbsp butter in a lrg non-stick skillet over med heat until it begins to foam. Place brioche slices in the skillet, moving them around until well-buttered & browned.

These were soooo yum! They’re eggs in a frame pumped up with the use of brioche bread and melted cheese over the top. New York knows what they are doing. My family devoured it. These will be part of my special breakfast repertoire. Thank you Twissis for sharing. Made it for CQ3 – New York, 2016.

We had this for a 'breakfast for dinner' night with zucchini fritters and fruit. I liked using thicker slices of brioche. Prep was easy and I think this is something even the grandkids would enjoy. Thank you for sharing the recipe!

I used a Panini bun and cooked it all stove top. Toasted the bun as per recipe. Then added a bit of butter in each hole, cracked an egg in each. Sprinkled on the cheese & covered it with a lid. Medium heat & 4 minutes - egg white firm , yolk runny & cheese melted. Two servings were very much enjoyed. 30 Mar 19 Made again . -This was a super Sunday Brunch. I used a sourdough bun with the centers cut out and instead of cheddar cheese I used Jalapeno Havarti. The bun frame was crisp. The egg centers still runny just the way I love them. A Lip smacking good brunch

Thank you for sharing this tasty recipe Twisted, I never knew that it originated from New York. I used a sesame french bread and a good quality old cheddar, they worked perfectly. Made for CQ3 - New York.
