Ingredients

4 slices of thick cut wheat bread
4 large eggs
4 vineripened tomatoes, sliced
1 medium red onion, sliced thin
12 slices smoked salmon
1 cup clarified butter
1 -ounce olive oil
1 -ounce red wine vinegar

Directions

1

Take each slice of bread and remove a hole two inches in diameter from the center.
2

A jelly jar lid works very well as a quick discard for the center.
3

Using a pancake griddle or a large teflon pan, heat one ounce of clarified butter over medium heat.
4

Toast each slice of bread on one side for three minutes.
5

As you flip each slice of bread, carefully crack an egg through the hole and saute the egg inside.
6

When the egg sets on one side, but the yolk is still soft, turn the toast over, careful not to crack the yolk.
7

Saute for an additional two minutes.
8

While the eggs are cooking, in a mixing bowl season tomato slices and shaved onions with olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt and pepper.
9

For the presentation, stack tomatoes and onions in one corner of the plate.

Lean the frog in the hole against the tomatoes and garnish with a rosette of three slices of smoked salmon.
