Instructions
-
Prepare the Sauce: In a medium frying pan with a tight-fitting lid, combine the catsup, vinegar, and water. This sauce is the heart of the dish, providing a flavorful base for the poached eggs.
-
-
Heat the Mixture: Place the pan over medium heat and allow the mixture to come to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Once you see the first bubbles forming, it’s time to add the next ingredient.
-
Add the Butter: Incorporate the butter into the bubbling sauce. Stir gently until the butter is completely melted and integrated into the catsup mixture, creating a glossy, flavorful sauce.
-
Poach the Eggs: Carefully crack the eggs into the sauce, taking care not to break the yolks. Cover the pan with the lid and let the eggs simmer for approximately 3 minutes. This method of poaching allows the eggs to absorb the tangy flavors of the sauce while ensuring that the whites are set and the yolks remain beautifully runny.
-
Serve the Eggs: Once the eggs are perfectly poached, use a slotted spatula to gently lift them out of the sauce. Place the eggs atop a slice of toasted bread, allowing the warm sauce to soak into the toast for added flavor.
-
Finish with Cheese: Drizzle the catsup sauce generously over the eggs and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top, letting it melt slightly from the residual heat of the dish.
-
Optional Addition: For those who enjoy a little kick, consider adding a dash of hot sauce to the finished dish for an extra layer of flavor.
