Food review: Soft scrambled eggs
Restaurant: Le Petit Robert (San Francisco)
Food description: Soft scrambled eggs with mushroom ragout and country bread
Food rating: 7 out of 10
Times ordered: 2
This is a really exceptional egg dish if you are craving something a little bit different but not too drastically different for breakfast. Le Petit Robert is a charming French restaurant so they do their eggs in the French style which is a little bit runny. I happen to adore eggs this way as I feel it enhances their creaminess and richness. This is a very luxurious morning breakfast. The menu says this is only two eggs but as you can see from the picture there is quite a lot of egg there. They top it with a mushroom ragout and the mushrooms are cooked very well here, they maintain their meatiness and create a sauce that is really earthy and flavorful. Everything is served on top of a slice of really good bread. Le Petit Robert maintains a bakery next door to the restaurant so all the bread is fresh baked and you can tell in this dish. The crusty bread beneath the egg and mushroom really make this dish for me, it absorbs up all the delicious mushroom gravy and cuts the richness of the egg a bit. A few restrained shavings of parmesan cheese on top round out the dish and really make it quite decadent.
