👨‍🍳 Pro Meal Prep Tips for This Dish

  • Thick sauce base: simmer sauce until reduced so it supports the eggs without watery separation.
  • Poach eggs soft: keeping egg yolks soft ensures jammy richness when reheated for 60 seconds.
  • Sourdough pairing: serve alongside a slice of toasted seeded sourdough for dipping.
