Bake the Irish Soda Bread. Whip up the Shamrock Butter. Sear the eggs. Dollop a bit of the shamrock butter to melt on top of each egg. Smear the butter on the bread.
This bread comes together so quickly you will be tempted to make it daily. Only five simple ingredients. No rising. No real kneading. Just slap it together and place in the oven ideally on a cast iron pan or a stone for a nice golden crust on the bottom.
Wood sorrel is often mistaken for the traditional Irish shamrock, so in this spirit whip up your own ‘shamrock’ butter with the bright, almost lemony sorrel instead. If you had visions of mint shamrock shakes when you read shamrock butter and want to try mint butter instead, I would welcome the idea, although I have yet to try it myself.
We like a runny egg yolk in my home, but sometimes flipping an egg over easy will increase the risk of the yolk breaking and inevitably cooking the whole darn thing. This method makes a simple fried egg a bit easier to master without the flipping.
