Elevated Steak and Eggs Crostini

  • Author: David Andersson
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 10–12 crostini 1x

Description

To truly appreciate this dish, it helps to understand what makes it so special. At its core, an Elevated Steak and Eggs Crostini is a modern, gourmet take on two distinct culinary traditions: the American steakhouse breakfast and the Italian antipasto. A traditional crostini, which means little toasts in Italian, consists of small slices of bread that are brushed with oil, toasted until crisp, and then topped with various savory ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale

For the crostini

  • 1 baguette, sliced into ½-inch pieces
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper

For the steak

  • 8 oz ribeye or sirloin steak
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 garlic clove, smashed
  • 1 sprig rosemary or thyme

For the eggs

  • 4 eggs
  • Ice bath for cooling

Creamy layer

  • 4 oz goat cheese or whipped ricotta
  • 1 tbsp crème fraîche or heavy cream
  • Pinch of salt

Toppings

  4. Bake 8–10 minutes until golden and crisp.

2. Cook the steak

  1. Pat steak dry and season generously.
  2. Heat a skillet until very hot.
  3. Sear steak 3–4 minutes per side for medium-rare.
  4. Add butter, garlic, and herbs during the last minute and baste.
  5. Rest steak for 8 minutes, then slice thinly.

3. Make jammy eggs

  1. Bring water to a gentle boil.
  2. Add eggs and cook 7 minutes.
  3. Transfer immediately to an ice bath.
  4. Peel carefully and halve.
