Note

For a more robust flavor, consider adding fresh herbs like parsley or chives after frying.

If you prefer a crunchier bread base, you can drizzle the toasted mountain bread with a little extra olive oil and sea salt.

This dish is best served hot to enjoy the contrast between the warm yolk and the crisp bread.

Substitute mountain bread with your favorite artisanal loaf if unavailable.
