🥄 Texture

Crispy toasted bread cubes provide a crunchy contrast to fluffy, separated rice and tender stir-fried vegetables. Melted brie and salty cheese plus soft scrambled eggs add a creamy, slightly gooey mouthfeel that balances the crunch.

👃 Aroma

Buttery and toasty notes from the fried rice and toasted bread are prominent, joined by a warm, milky cheese aroma from the melted brie and salty cheese. Subtle vegetal sweetness from carrots and parsnip and a mild egg scent round out the profile.

🍷 Pairs Well With

Crisp, unoaked white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or a light pilsner; non-alcoholic option: sparkling water with a twist of lemon.

🥗 Side Dishes

Simple green salad with lemon vinaigrette, quick pickled cucumber or radish to add brightness, or a light miso soup/steamed greens for a warming complement.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the carrots, green beans, and parsnip into small, bite-sized pieces. Slice the bread into small cubes and set aside.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the bread cubes and toast for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and crispy. Transfer to a plate.

  3. 3

    In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of butter and pour in the beaten eggs. Scramble gently for 1-2 minutes until cooked, then push to the side of the pan.

  4. 4

    Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the pan, then add all the diced vegetables. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender. Add the cooked rice, breaking up any clumps, and mix well. Crumble the brie and salty cheese over the rice and stir until melted (about 1-2 minutes).

  5. 5

    Top with the crispy bread croutons, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot.
