Things it has improved

None of these are difficult. That is rather the point. A good sauce does the work so the cook can take the credit.

01

Breakfast · 10 minutes · Serves 1, defensibly

Eggs, the morning after

Two eggs, a hot pan, and a sauce that has already done its thinking. Eat directly from the pan if nobody is observing.

You will need

  • 2 eggs
  • A knob of butter
  • 1 thick slice of sourdough
  • 1 tbsp 10 Pepper Party, then more

Then

  1. Toast the bread. Butter it while it is still slightly too hot to hold.
  2. Fry the eggs in the rest of the butter until the edges go lacy and brown.
  3. Eggs onto toast. Sauce over everything, from a reasonable height.
  4. Disregard your responsibilities for the next eight minutes.

  • 1½ tbsp 10 Pepper Party
  • A squeeze of lemon
  • Salt, if asked

Then
