What is tarragon?

Tarragon is a popular and versatile perennial herb. Maintaining a steady supply of fresh herbs in our garden has been a challenge for us due to our harsh winters and recurring summer drought conditions. The tarragon is thriving, however, making it go-to addition for everything from toasts to breakfast hashes, grilled meats and vegetables. It has a mild licorice-like taste with citrus notes and a delicate spiciness that pairs beautifully with the mushrooms and jammy eggs.

Buttery skillet-fried mushrooms, farm fresh eggs, lots of garlic and bright, citrusy tarragon nestled on toasted Everyday Artisan Bread. These Mushroom Toasts with Eggs and Tarragon are the coziest, locally sourced Sunday brunch!

Instructions

Warm a cast iron skillet over medium heat then drizzle with olive oil. Add the mushrooms and garlic and let sauté for 3 to 5 minutes until browned. Turn the mushrooms, then let them brown for another 3 to 5 minutes. If the pan seems too dry, add a little more oil as needed.
Stir in tarragon and create two wells.
Crack in eggs and continue to cook until the egg whites are set.
While the eggs are cooking, grill or toast the artisan bread until golden.
Once the eggs are cooked, transfer them to buttered toasts with mushrooms stacked around. Season with salt and freshly cracked pepper and top with more fresh tarragon as desired.
