Egg & Chive Brioche Breakfast Buns
Soft, buttery and packed with savoury goodness, these Egg & Chive Brioche Breakfast Buns are the ultimate morning treat. With fluffy scrambled eggs, fresh chives, and rich, golden brioche buns, they strike the perfect balance between indulgent and effortless – ideal for relaxed weekend brunches, breakfast on the go, or even a satisfying light lunch.
The creamy scrambled eggs are gently cooked until just set, then folded with finely chopped chives for a subtle oniony freshness that lifts the whole dish. Nestled inside lightly toasted brioche buns, the result is soft, rich, and deeply comforting – with just the right amount of luxury to start your day on a high.
You can easily customise the recipe to suit your taste. Add crispy bacon or smoked salmon for something extra, melt a slice of cheese over the eggs, or spice things up with a dash of hot sauce. The soft texture of the brioche pairs beautifully with a variety of fillings, making these buns endlessly adaptable.
The Instant Pot or air fryer can be used to quickly warm or toast the buns to golden perfection, and if you’re feeding a crowd, the eggs can be prepared in batches and kept warm without drying out – ideal for brunch gatherings or family breakfasts.
These buns are easy to prepare, quick to assemble, and satisfying enough to fuel your morning with minimal fuss. Whether you’re enjoying them with a cup of coffee at the kitchen table or wrapping one up to eat on the move, these Egg & Chive Brioche Buns deliver on flavour, texture and convenience. A true breakfast favourite you’ll keep coming back to.

Prep Time:

Product:
Instant Pot Multi-Cooker
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 15g chives
- 100g cottage cheese
- 3 tbsp cream
- 30g cheese of choice (e.g. parmesan)
- Salt
- Black pepper
- 4 brioche burger buns
- 8 rashers of bacon (optional)
- ¼ clove garlic
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 250ml water (for Instant Pot)
Instructions
- Crack the 6 eggs into a blender. Add 30g cheese, 100g cottage cheese, and 3 tbsp cream, then blend until smooth. Season with and black pepper. Finely slice the 15g chives, reserving one-third for the aioli. Stir the remaining two-thirds into the egg mixture after blending.
- Divide the egg mixture evenly between 4 ramekins or round silicone moulds that fit inside your Instant Pot. Pour 250ml water into the base of the pot and insert the trivet. Stack the ramekins or moulds on the steaming rack – use a short and tall rack (if you have one) if needed to fit all four or work in batches.
- Set the Instant Pot Pro to Low Pressure, 12 minutes, and use Quick Release. While it cooks, toast the 4 brioche buns and fry the 8 rashers of bacon, if using.
- To make the chive aioli, finely chop the reserved chives and ¼ clove garlic, then stir through 3 tbsp mayonnaise. Once the pressure has released, allow the egg patties to cool slightly, then carefully remove them using a clean dishcloth.
- Spread the chive aioli on the base of each bun. Top with an egg patty and two slices of bacon. Close with the top bun and serve immediately.
