Ingredients
Instructions
- Start with the bread: toast it lightly so it stays crisp but not dry.
- Bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer and add the vinegar.
- Crack each egg into a small cup.
- Slide the eggs into the water and cook until the whites are just set and the yolks still soft.
- Remove the eggs carefully and let excess water drip away.
- Butter the toast while it’s warm.
- Place the eggs on top, season with salt and pepper, and finish with herbs.
- Break the yolk at the table and let it run.
Common mistakes
If the water boils too hard, the whites spread and overcook. Keep it calm, almost still — the yolk stays liquid when nothing rushes it.
