Steps:
- Preheat broiler.
- Cook radicchio with salt and pepper in oil in a deep 10-inch skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until just tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and keep warm, loosely covered. Wipe skillet clean.
- Fill skillet with 1 1/4 inches cold water. Add vinegar and bring to a simmer.
- Break 1 egg into a cup, then slide egg into simmering water. Repeat with remaining 3 eggs, spacing them in skillet, and poach at a bare simmer until whites are firm but yolks are still runny, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Toast bread, then spread one side of each piece with truffle butter and cover with cheese. Broil toast on a baking sheet 4 to 6 inches from heat until cheese is just melted.
- Divide toast among 4 plates, then top with radicchio and poached eggs. Season with salt and pepper.
TRUFFLED SCRAMBLED EGGS
Steps:
- Place a medium (10-inch) saute pan over low heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt but not completely. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper until the yolks and whites are just blended. Pour the mixture into the pan but don't mix it.
- Allow the eggs to warm slowly over low heat without stirring them. This may take 3 to 5 minutes, so be patient! As soon as the eggs start to cook on the bottom, use a rubber spatula to scrape the bottom of the pan and fold the cooked eggs over the uncooked eggs. Once the eggs start to look a little custardy, stir them rapidly with the spatula until they are the texture of very soft custard. Remove the pan from the heat before the eggs are fully cooked, as they will continue to cook in the warm pan. Immediately, stir the truffle butter into the eggs. This will stop the cooking.
- Cut the slices of toast in half diagonally and place them on 3 dinner plates. Spoon the scrambled eggs over the toasts and garnish with minced chives. Sprinkle with salt and serve hot.
FRENCH SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH TRUFFLE OIL
These creamy, custardlike scrambled eggs from Elisabeth Daniel sommelier Peter Birmingham have a luxurious flavor. They are perfect for those 3AM breakfasts when you need something quick and are not quite ready to go to bed. Bring your friends and that special someone into your kitchen and whip these puppies up. The rich, ripe Chardonnay fruit and yeasty aroma of the 1996 Schramsberg Blanc de Blancs sparkling wine make it a real friend to truffles. The wine's creaminess and balance also perfectly match the sumptuous eggs.
