Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Eggs — Use fresh and high-quality eggs for the best flavor and texture.
  • Truffle oil — A little goes a long way, so use it sparingly to avoid overpowering the dish.
  • Brioche bread — Opt for artisanal brioche bread with a rich and buttery flavor.
  • Yuzu mayonnaise — If yuzu mayonnaise is not available, you can make your own by mixing regular mayonnaise with yuzu juice or zest.
  • Butter — Use unsalted butter for toasting the bread to control the saltiness of the dish.

Tips & Tricks

  • For an extra touch of luxury, you can add a few slices of black truffle to the sandwich.
  • Experiment with different types of bread, such as sourdough or whole grain, to add your own twist to the dish.
  • If you prefer a stronger truffle flavor, you can drizzle a small amount of truffle oil on the bread before assembling the sandwich.
  • Serve the Haute Tamago Sando with a side of mixed greens or a light salad for a complete meal.
  • To make the omelette extra fluffy, you can separate the egg yolks and whites, whisk the whites until stiff peaks form, and then fold them into the beaten yolks before cooking.

Serving advice

Serve the Haute Tamago Sando as a luxurious brunch or lunch option. Cut the sandwiches into halves or quarters for easy handling and elegant presentation. Accompany the sandwich with a side of mixed greens or a light salad to add freshness and balance to the meal.

Presentation advice

To enhance the visual appeal of the Haute Tamago Sando, garnish the plate with a sprinkle of chives or microgreens. Arrange the sandwiches neatly on a platter, ensuring that the omelette is visible between the slices of bread. Serve on elegant plates or wooden boards to elevate the presentation.
