Yes, a scarpetta "toasty," dipped in runny warm yolk. Exactly this.

I enjoyed this, thank you. I was thinking recently about eggs and toast — more specifically scrambled eggs on toast, which I had served up to me at two different restaurants on a recent city break. The eggs were piled high atop the toast but the heat and moisture in the scrambled eggs made the toast soggy. A travesty! The eggs were lovely but I had the dawning realisation that (for me) there is an optimal way to serve this particular dish — who knew!? Anyway, I digress! Thanks again for a “cracking” read

Hey! Thanks for reading. That’s absolutely it, subtle differences in making it can alter the result so hugely. Subscribe for more! ☺️

One of the finest plates of food on earth, and I’ll admit to a good dollop of tomato ketchup to smear though everything.

Why the bloody hell not! Adds a touch of acidity, and sweetness, wouldn't expect anything less!
