Ingredients

2 large eggs

Flaky sea salt, to taste

Olive oil, to garnish

Toast, for serving

Directions

  1. Bring a small pot of water to a simmer. Whisk the eggs in a bowl. Once the water is simmering, use a spoon to create a whirlpool in the water, then pour in the whisked eggs. Cover and cook until the eggs are cooked and float to the top, 1 to 2 minutes. Strain the eggs into a fine mesh sieve. Allow the excess water to drain, then remove to a plate and top with flaky sea salt and olive oil to taste. Serve with your favorite toast.

For those of you who think some tik toker invented "poached scrambled eggs," you're very wrong. My grandparents made them for decades.
