Ingredients
2 slices brioche
1 1/2 teaspoons clarified butter
1 ounce shredded gruyere cheese
1 egg
1 teaspoon ricotta
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons Maple Hot Sauce, recipe follows
Maple Hot Sauce:
2 pounds butter
2 1/4 cup maple syrup
2 cups hot sauce, such as Frank's
Directions
- Slice the crusts off the brioche bread. Pat half the butter on one side of the sandwich and griddle it on medium heat until nicely browned. Repeat on the opposite side, and then remove. Sprinkle the gruyere into the pan. After the cheese crisps up, place one slice of the toasted brioche onto the cheese so that it sticks to it. Wait until most of the moisture in the cheese has been cooked off, and then carefully use a spatula to remove the bread and cheese crisp together. Place to the side.
- Break the egg into a bowl and gently break the yolk into the white with a fork. Add the ricotta and thyme. In a medium saute pan, cook the broken egg. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Fold the egg mixture twice until firmly cooked. Remove from the heat.
- To assemble, drizzle the Maple Hot Sauce on both sides of the toasted brioche. Be sure to keep the cheese crisp on the outside. Place the folded egg in between the bread and serve with the cheese crisp facing up.
Maple Hot Sauce:
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Whisk in the maple syrup and hot sauce. Remove from the heat once thoroughly combined.

The first few bites of this seemed pretty good. And then it just got boring or too much of something. I just couldn't put my finger on it. It was harder to make than it looked. My first attempt looked pretty bad. Very important you cook out the moisture in the cheese, which takes patience. I think this might be a lot easier to make on a "flat top". Final judgement: this is going in the circular file.
