This classic vegetarian dish, known as oeufs au plat, offers a refined take on the simple fried egg. Unlike the high-heat method often used for a traditional fry-up, these eggs are started in a cold frying pan with plenty of softened butter. This technique results in incredibly tender whites and silky yolks, ensuring the edges stay soft and pale rather than becoming crisp or brown. It is a gentle, foolproof method for a more elegant breakfast.

While delicious on their own with a slice of hot buttered sourdough, these eggs provide a versatile base for more indulgent brunch combinations. Try serving them alongside savoury accompaniments like spring onion sausages or a rich gravy for a comforting, protein-packed meal that feels far more sophisticated than its minimal ingredient list suggests.
