Ingredients

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon walnuts, toasted and chopped
  • 2 sage leaves, finely chopped
  • 2 slices sandwich bread
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • salt
  • pepper

Instructions

  1. Turn your oven's broiler to HI and position the oven rack about 8 from the broiler.
  2. Toast the sandwich bread. Cut off the crusts and cut into 1/4 cubes.
  3. Put the bread cubes, walnuts, and sage into an ovenproof ramekin (4oz. or 6oz. size works). Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  4. Pour 2 tbsp cream over the bread mixture. Crack the egg into a small bowl and then slide atop the bread mixture, being careful not to break the yolk.
  5. Broil for 5-7 minutes until the whites are just set and the yolk is still runny. (The whites will continue to cook once you've removed the ramekin from the oven)
  6. Enjoy in a quiet corner with a hot cup of coffee and a newspaper, preferably overlooking a snowy-white vista.
