rich · gently hot · bright Leads with richness that coats and comforts, a warm current of chile, with a clean, bright snap.

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs per skillet: ốp la means sunny-side, and the dish arrives in the pan
  • 1 small crusty baguette per person, warmed to shatter
  • 2 tbsp butter or oil; 3 spring onions, sliced; a few slices of pâté or chả lụa if the pantry is Vietnamese today
  • Maggi seasoning sauce (the bottle is the soul of this breakfast) plus soy and chili sauce on the table

Method

  1. Heat a small skillet (the one you will serve in); butter; crack in the eggs.
  2. Cook gently until the whites set glossy and the yolks tremble; scatter spring onions into the whites in the last minute.
  3. Warm the baguette until the crust crackles; add pâté alongside in the pan if using.
  4. Serve the skillet on a trivet: Maggi shaken over the eggs at the table, bread torn and dragged through yolk and seasoning until the pan is polished.
