Recipe from Yotam Ottolenghi · original post · full recipe on ottolenghi.co.uk
The quickest dinner there is, short of tearing open a pack of instant noodles: eggs fried in butter until it turns brown and nutty, with spring onions softening right in it and a slick of soy sauce. Baste the whites in that butter as they cook so the edges go lacy and crisp while the yolks stay glossy - then scrape every last bit of butter from the pan over the top, since that's where most of the flavour ends up. Spoon the eggs, and all that butter, over rice, noodles or toast.
