French Scrambled Eggs with Garlic Toast
Ingredients
4 Eggs
4 Sprigs Fresh Parsley
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Shallot
1/2 cup Cherry Tomatoes
1 Garlic Clove
1 1/4 cups Frozen Peas
1/8 teaspoon Kosher Salt
2 cups Arugula
1 Lemon
2 Slices Whole Wheat Bread
Instructions
Prepare ingredients. Rinse all produce. Allow peas to thaw at room temperature. Halve cherry tomatoes. Finely chop parsley leaves, discarding stems. Peel shallot and thinly slice into rings. Halve lemon.
Sauté vegetables. Heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in a medium nonstick pan over medium-high heat. When oil is shimmering, add shallot and tomatoes to pan. Cook, stirring until softened and tomatoes are jammy, 3-4 minutes. Add peas to pan and cook until warmed through and bright green, about 1 minute more. Remove vegetables from pan and set aside on a plate, covered to keep warm.
Toast bread. Toast bread according to manufacturer's instructions. Alternatively, if you don't have a toaster, place bread in a 450°F oven for 10 minutes until golden and crisp. When bread is toasted, rub whole garlic clove onto bread until fragrant (you will not use up whole clove, you can save remainder or discard).
Cook eggs. In a small bowl, whisk 4 eggs with 1/8 teaspoon salt and black pepper as desired. Wipe pan from vegetables clean and heat 1/2 tablespoon olive oil in pan over medium-high heat. When oil is shimmering, add egg to pan and scramble, stirring constantly, until cooked through, 1-2 minutes. Return shallot, tomatoes, and peas to pan and stir to warm through with eggs.
Finish eggs. Divide eggs and toast between serving plates. Divide arugula between plates and squeeze over as much lemon as desired. Garnish everything with parsley.
