Breakfast Brioche Burger
Photography Josh Griggs.
One of my favourite breakfasts ever – resistance is futile!
Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS
4-6 large eggs
1/3 cup cream
sea salt and ground pepper
20 grams butter
¼ cup natural Greek yoghurt
¼ cup good-quality egg mayonnaise
¼ cup harissa or kasundi
To serve
4 brioche buns, halved and toasted
11/3 cups rocket or spinach leaves
12 rashers cooked streaky bacon
1 avocado, sliced
2 tablespoons purchased dukkah
METHOD
I’m not sure if this really needs instructions but here we go! Whisk the eggs and cream together and season with salt and pepper. Heat the butter over a gentle heat in a frying pan and add the eggs. Don’t stir for about 30 seconds, then cook, stirring only occasionally, until the eggs are softly set.
Whisk the yoghurt and mayonnaise together and swirl through the harissa or kasundi.
TO SERVE: Serve the buns slathered in the spicy yoghurt mix and topped with rocket, bacon, avocado and egg, and finished with a sprinkling of dukkah.
DRINKS MATCH:
With 'breakfast' and 'brioche', there’s nothing better than bubbles. My vote goes to the Hāhā Rōhi Hawke’s Bay Sparkling Rosé NV ($20). A mix of merlot, malbec and cabernet sauvignon, it’s bold and bursting with berry bagel notes. hahawine.co.nz

We start by sharing what’s on the dish team’s radar, what we’re watching, listening to and reading. Harry Butterfield puts a twist on his Nonna’s agnolotti, Malissa Fedele reminds us of the importance of fibre, and Phoebe Holden fulfils a long-held dream, sitting down with Yotam Ottolenghi. Autumn is an abundant time, we make the most with pumpkin, kūmara, cabbage, cauliflower, feijoas, apples and pears. We’re dishing up dinners for two, including a Chicken Dumpling Lasagne, alongside easy weeknight meals. We honour our mums, revisit timeless classics, and add a little baking challenge. This issue, we encourage you to slow down, to enjoy writing your shopping list, and spending time in the kitchen. Because even when life feels relentless, there’s always space to share something delicious.
