Bruschetta is, at its simplest, toast rubbed with garlic and seasoned with olive oil and salt, and it's a wonderful way to start a meal. However, you can do much more with a slice of toast, including this light snack. To serve 4:
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 8 slices bread, ideally Italian
- 4 eggs
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- A walnut-sized chunk of butter
- 6 ounces (150 g) cooked shelled shrimp (canned will be fine), drained
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives, or more to taste
- Salt and pepper to taste
Preparation:
Toast the bread and keep it warm.
Beat the eggs with the cream. Heat the butter in a non-stick pan, add the eggs, and stir them about to scramble them, adding the shrimp as well after a few seconds. Continue to cook until the eggs reach the degree of doneness you like, and season them with salt and pepper.
Arrange the toast on four plates, spoon the egg mixture over them, sprinkle the chives over all, and serve at once, with a dry white wine. A Ribolla Gialla might be nice.
