Famous restaurateur and Ukrainian entrepreneur Misha Katsurin shared a nostalgic recipe with his followers. According to the author, this simple and hearty breakfast was made for him by his mom in childhood, and childhood dishes hold a special value and impeccable taste. The recipe quickly attracted the attention of home cooking enthusiasts due to the availability of ingredients and simplicity of preparation.
Ingredients and Preparation
To create a culinary masterpiece from simple products, standard components that are easy to find in any kitchen will be needed. The basis of the dish consists of bread (baton), eggs, sausage, tomatoes, and hard cheese. The process begins with preparing the filling: the sausage and ripe tomatoes are cut into neat large cubes, and the cheese is grated.
Then the bread is sliced into sufficiently thick pieces. The main secret lies in carefully removing the soft bread part from the center of each slice, leaving dense crusts on the sides. They will serve as reliable molds for baking and frying our future original fried eggs.
Cooking Process in a Frying Pan
In a separate container, eggs are beaten with salt and pepper until a homogeneous consistency is achieved. A mixture of olive and butter is added to a preheated frying pan. As soon as the butter melts completely, the prepared bread bases with empty centers are placed in the pan.
The prepared egg mixture is carefully poured into each slice of bread. Diced tomatoes and sausage are placed on top, after which the structure is generously sprinkled with grated cheese. The dish is fried over medium heat until the egg is completely set, after which the slices are carefully turned over to get a golden crust.
Controversial Data
In open sources and culinary blogs, discussions often arise about variations of classic family recipes. Some cooks argue that the bread should be pre-dipped in milk or that butter of exclusively high fat content should be used, whereas Misha Katsurin's family recipe focuses on minimalism and the use of combined oils to achieve an optimal balance of flavor and crispiness.
