Are you looking for a special brunch item to serve this Easter? My Fried Egg Toasts with Herb Butter are a great option and will be a fan favorite, trust me! Their presentation is so beautiful and they taste amazing – a win-win when hosting.

As a departure from Avocado toasts, let’s focus on Egg Toasts! You don’t have to throw the baby out with the bath water! I love an egg for brunch, but it’s also nice to make it a tad fancier.  This Fried Egg Toast with Herb Butter and radishes has the wonderful earthiness of a crusty whole grain toast and a perfectly fried egg– as well as the freshness of a butter coating that is chock full of zesty, fresh herbs.  Such a winning combo! The radishes on top give it some crunch as well.  

You can make the herb butter a day ahead of time, and keep it in an airtight container, as well as slicing the radishes in advance– making this actually quite easy to prep for a party at home! This recipe makes two toasts.

Begin by creating your herb butter.  Mix your minced herbs into your softened butter and combine well.  It should be very herb-heavy.  Add your lemon zest to the butter.  Heat a nonstick skillet on medium and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan.  Crack two eggs in the pan, and gently use a spoon to baste the eggs with the oil surrounding them as they cook.  Meanwhile, toast two slices of your grainy bread! When toasted, top with a good shmear of the herb butter. When cooked to your liking, remove the eggs from the pan, and place them on top of the toasts.  Top with a sprinkle of sliced radishes and a few pieces of minced herbs.  Enjoy!

    • The basting with olive oil as described in the recipe really helps. Also a good nonstick pan!
