Three ingredients but infinite possibilities. Keep this mellow garlic condiment on hand and add a spoonful to soups, sandwiches, or pretty much anything.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    4 Servings

Ingredients

1 bunch green garlic, white and pale green parts only, chopped (about 1 cup)
½ cup olive oil
Kosher salt
4 slices of bread, toasted
4 Perfect Poached Eggs

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Bring green garlic, oil, and a pinch of salt to a bare simmer in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook, reducing heat if needed, until garlic is soft, 40–45 minutes. Let cool slightly. Taste confit and add some more salt if you’d like.

    Step 2

    Mash some confit onto each piece of toast; top with poached eggs.
