How to Make Eggs Rothko

  1. Preheat your oven's broiler and position the rack to its lowest setting.
  2. Melt 1 tablespoon (14g) of butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until it foams.
  3. Place 2 slices of brioche in the skillet, browning each side until well-buttered.
  4. Use a 2-inch cookie cutter, biscuit cutter, or drinking glass to cut a hole in the center of each brioche slice. Discard the cutouts.
  5. Divide the remaining 1 tablespoon (14g) of butter between the holes in the bread.
  6. Once the butter foams, carefully crack 1 large egg into each hole.
  7. Cook until the egg whites are set halfway up the sides of the yolks.
  8. Gently flip the brioche using a spatula and cook for about 1 minute more.
  9. Transfer the brioche to a broiler pan.
  10. Evenly sprinkle 1/4 cup (30g) of grated cheese over the brioche.
  11. Broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  12. Serve immediately with your favorite sides. We recommend broiled tomatoes, bacon, fresh fruit, and a simple green salad.
