When you have some herbs threatening to go past their prime in the crisper drawer, preserve them by making herb butter, which just happens to be an excellent landing pad for a perfectly fried egg.
Ingredients
4 servings
3/4 cup mixed tender herbs (such as parsley, dill, basil, chives, and/or tarragon), plus sprigs for serving
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into pieces
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, plus more for drizzling
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more
1/2 cup thinly sliced trimmed mixed radishes
4 slices of bread, toasted
-
Step 1
Pulse 3/4 cup herbs in a food processor until finely chopped. Add butter, lemon zest, 2 tsp. lemon juice, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Pulse to bring together.
Step 2
Place radishes in a medium bowl; drizzle with a little lemon juice and add a pinch of salt. Toss to combine.
Step 3
To serve, spread toast with herb butter and top each with a fried egg. Scatter dressed radishes over top along with a few sprigs of herbs.

Step 4
Herb butter can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and chill.
How would you rate Fried Egg on Toast with Salted Herb Butter and Radishes?

Delicious and easy to put together. I made the herb butter ahead of time and had the radishes sliced and ready to go, so little prep time when I had guests. I added some sliced avocado on top.

Delicious, light, and a great change of pace. I’m always on the hunt for easy, savory breakfasts and this one did not disappoint. I ended up using a total of 12oz of multigrain bread, sliced to about 3/8″ and I only needed half of the butter and it was still plenty flavorful and indulgent. Finely minced the herbs (used about a 3:1 ratio of basil and parsley) with my knife and just folded it into softened butter and the texture was fine—no need to dirty a food processor. For the eggs, I slightly altered the preparation and cracked each onto a well seasoned, hot baking steel (cast iron would also work nicely) and then proceeded to coarsely break it up so each bite could be streaked with veins of rich yolk. It was easy and cleaner to eat, and enjoyable through and through so I’d definitely repeat this next time. I was worried my radishes would be a bit too hot for my littles, but they mellowed out nicely in the lemon juice and both my 5 year old and 22 month old gobbled them up happily. Beautiful enough for company and comes together so quickly so you have enough time to ease into the day and enjoy over good conversation. Looking forward to enjoying this one regularly.

Delicious and really simple. I didn’t have any radishes, but had everything else in my fridge, so I omitted that part. Will try again with the radishes next time.
