Ingredients
For the baguette
- 6 slices French baguette, cut half an inch thick
- 2 tbsp softened butter for spreading on baguette
For the Boursin Scrambled Eggs
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 1 tbsp butter good quality butter
- 2 tbsp Boursin Garlic and Fine Herbs
- salt & pepper to taste
For the toppings
- 3-4 oz smoked salmon cold smoked and thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- sriracha to drizzle
- dill or chives optional, for garnish
Instructions
- Spread softened butter on each baguette slice. Toast in a pan over medium heat butter side down until deeply golden and crispy. Set aside.
- Crack eggs into a bowl, add heavy cream, and whisk until smooth and well combined.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over low to medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt gently without browning.
- Pour in the egg mixture. Using a spatula, stir slowly and continuously, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center. Cook low and slow — do not rush or increase the heat.
- When the eggs are about 80 percent set but still slightly runny and glossy, add the Boursin in small dollops. Stir gently so it melts into the eggs creating creamy herby pockets throughout.
- Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat immediately — eggs will continue cooking slightly off the heat.
- Spoon a generous amount of Boursin scrambled eggs onto each toasted baguette slice.
- Drape a soft fold of smoked salmon on top of the eggs.
- Add a small precise dot of sour cream to each bite.
- Finish with a confident drizzle of sriracha over the top.
- Garnish
Notes
- Low and slow is the only way to make these eggs. Do not increase the heat or rush the process — patience creates that ultra-creamy, custardy texture.
- Remove the eggs from the heat when they still look slightly underdone. They will finish cooking from the residual heat of the pan.
- Toast the baguette properly and firmly — a crispy base is what keeps these bites from going soggy under the toppings.
- Assemble right before serving for the best texture. Prep all components in advance and assemble at the last minute.
- For party prep: toast baguette up to one hour ahead, prep all toppings in advance, and make the eggs right before serving.
- Use the best quality cold-smoked salmon you can find — the quality of the salmon makes a significant difference in the final result.
