Equipment

  • - Egg Poacher: Allows for perfectly poached eggs without the need to bend over a pot of water.

  • - Brioche Loaf Pan: For baking the brioche, which will serve as a base for your dish.

  • - Pistou Bowl: A small bowl or container in which you can mix ingredients for pistou (basil and garlic mayonnaise).

  • - Cheese Grater: To grate parmesan cheese over the eggs and brioche.

  • - Non-stick Frying Pan: For toasting bread if not using a dedicated toaster.

  • - Digital Scale (optional): Can help in measuring ingredients precisely, especially when making pistou or grating cheese for exact amounts.

  • - Mixing Spatula: Useful for mixing the pistou and any additional ingredients that may be required by your recipe variant.

  • - Measuring Spoons: For accurately measuring spices, herbs, or other small quantities of ingredients in the recipe.

  • - High-Speed Blender (optional): If you prefer to blend pistou into a smoother consistency, though this might not be typical for all variations.

  • - Toaster Oven (alternative method): An alternative appliance to bake the brioche if preferred over an oven or preheated pan.
