- 3

3 min03:00 - 4
Lift out the poached eggs with a slotted spoon and keep the hot water on the stove.
- 5
Spoon the mortar mixture over the bread.
- 6
Pour the hot poaching water over the bread and let it soften for 4 minutes.
4 min04:00 - 7
Place the eggs in the bowls, drizzle with the remaining olive oil, and serve.
