Tongue toast is an open faced sandwich prepared with sauteed beef tongue, and scrambled eggs.[1][2] It is seasoned to taste with black pepper and onions. Sometimes the tongue is served on buttered toast instead, with a poached egg instead of a scrambled one.[3] While it is primarily prepared as a dish for breakfast, it is often eaten for lunch and dinner.[4]
A variant served as breakfast involves the use of boiled, smoked beef tongue, cream, scrambled egg, and seasoned to taste with nutmeg, pepper, chopped parsley, and chopped green peppers.[5] A recent variant involves the use of reindeer tongue.[6]
When it is prepared as an hors-d'oeuvre, it is prepared in a similar fashion as French toast, with the star-shaped appetizers stamped out of the battered toast and mustard butter added to it.[7]
