Uni Toast

Servings 2 people
Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 oz Uni (sea urchin) (about 2 pieces per toast)
  • 2 slices milk bread substitute with white bread or brioche
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter divided
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 tbsp toasted walnuts chopped
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • lime juice a few drops per toast
  • lime zest to taste
  • small pinch flakey salt to taste

Instructions

  • Combine eggs and heavy cream in a mixing bowl. Whisk until fully combined then, set aside.
  • Remove the crust from the milk bread. Then cut each slice in half (for 2 large pieces) or quarters (for 4 small pieces)
  • In a pan, heat butter over medium heat. Place each piece of bread into the pan and quickly flip so both sides are buttered.
  • Toast all pieces until crispy and golden brown. Remove then set aside.
  • In the same pan, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg cream mixture. Continuously stir with a spatula until small curdles of egg form. Cook until your desired doneness (I prefer mine a bit runny). Season with salt and pepper.
  • To assemble the toast, layer on scrambled eggs, then add a drizzle of olive oil over the eggs. Top with walnuts, uni, lime juice, and lime zest. Repeat for all pieces of toast.
  • This is optional but I like to add a pinch of flakey salt on top of the uni as a finishing touch. Start with a light sprinkle - you don’t want to over salt it.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!
