What is Tarragon?
Tarragon is a popular and versatile perennial herb. Maintaining a steady supply of fresh herbs in our garden has been a challenge for us due to our harsh winters and recurring summer drought conditions. The tarragon is thriving, however, making it go-to addition for everything from toasts to breakfast hashes, grilled meats and vegetables. It has a mild licorice-like taste with citrus notes and a delicate spiciness that pairs beautifully with the mushrooms and jammy eggs.
Buttery skillet-fried mushrooms, farm fresh eggs, lots of garlic and bright, citrusy tarragon on toasted Everyday Artisan Bread. The coziest, locally sourced Sunday brunch!
