Ingredients for Multigrain Toasts with Scrambled Eggs and Canadian Bacon

  • 7 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 6 slices multigrain bread

  • 9 large eggs

  • 1/4 teaspoons salt

  • 1/4 teaspoons black pepper

  • 170g sliced Canadian bacon, chopped

  • 90ml soured cream

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

How to make Multigrain Toasts with Scrambled Eggs and Canadian Bacon

Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 232°C.

Melt 90ml butter, then brush onto both sides of bread. Using a 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter or rim of a glass, cut out 1 round from centre of each bread slice. Arrange bread slices (and cutout rounds) on a large baking sheet and toast in oven, without turning over, until golden, about 8 minutes. Transfer each toast (with round) to a plate.

While bread toasts, lightly whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Cook bacon in remaining tablespoon butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add eggs and cook, undisturbed, until they begin to set around edge, about 1 minute, then cook, stirring occasionally with a spatula, until just set, about 1 minute more. Divide among toast holes and top with soured cream and chives.
