FAQs

Can I use regular bread instead of tiger toast?
Yes, you can use any bread you prefer. However, tiger bread adds a unique crunch and flavor.

How do I poach eggs perfectly?
To poach eggs, simmer water with a splash of vinegar. Crack an egg into a small bowl, create a whirlpool in the water, and gently slide the egg in. Cook for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk.

Can I prepare this dish in advance?
While the assembly is best done fresh, you can prepare some components in advance. Cook the bacon and sauté the shallots ahead of time, and toast the bread just before serving for the best texture.
