Chef Big DA high-end breakfast scramble blending Texas-style smoked brisket with luxurious Italian burrata and fresh basil.
Whisk the eggs with the heavy cream, salt, and cracked black pepper until fully emulsified and no streaks remain.
Using a whisk instead of a fork incorporates more air for a fluffier texture.
In a cold non-stick skillet, add the butter and place over medium-low heat. Once the butter begins to foam, add the chopped smoked brisket.
We are just looking to render a tiny bit of fat and wake up the smoke profile, not sear the meat.
Pour the egg mixture over the brisket. Use a silicone spatula to gently move the eggs from the edges to the center, creating large, soft curds.
Low and slow is the rule for eggs, just like it is for the smoker. Patience prevents rubbery eggs.
When the eggs are about 80% cooked (still slightly wet), gently fold in the torn burrata pieces and half of the basil. Remove from heat immediately.
The residual heat will melt the creamy interior of the burrata without making it stringy.
Plate immediately and garnish with the remaining fresh basil and an extra crack of black pepper.
The key here is the contrast between the cold, creamy burrata and the warm, smoky brisket. Make sure your brisket is chopped small enough to integrate with the egg, but keep those 'bark' bits intact for the crunch. If you want to go full Michelin, drizzle a little aged balsamic reduction over the top before serving. Keep it classy, keep it smoky.
