You'll need

  • Kippers2
  • Eggs4
  • Bread4 slices
  • Butter40g
  • Lemons1

Salt, pepper and oil from the cupboard. Amounts are for four; the app scales them for you.

Method

  1. Put the kippers (2) in a jug, pour over boiling water to cover and leave (5 min).
  2. Poach the eggs (4) in gently simmering water (3 min).

    Kitchen note For poached eggs, use the freshest eggs you've got and a gentle simmer, not a rolling boil. Crack each into a cup first so you can slide it in calmly.

  3. Toast and butter (40g) the bread (4 slices).

    Kitchen note Toast the bread properly, golden, not pale. It holds up better under anything wet.

  4. Drain the kippers, flake onto the toast, top with an egg and a squeeze of lemon (1).

Can't find something? Doesn't matter. Swap it for something similar, it'll still be delish.
