...is probably all the direction you need to make this. the recipe came (unashamedly) from the gary and george of masterchef fame cookbook. basically, you cook a finely-diced onion in some olive oil until a little brown, add some bacon if you are ethically able to eat it (while i dont know for sure, i reckon facon or smoked tofu would do the job) and let that crisp up (does facon crisp up?). then, add some bits of broccoli and reduce heat, cover the pan and leave until the broccoli is tender and bright green. add a splash of sherry vinegar. then, mix in egg white(s) and season. finally, carefully add egg yolk(s) and warm through under a really hot grill. add a sprinkle of mint and thyme (i forgot this bit - i even had the herbs picked, washed and chopped). delicioso!
this was an antidote to christmas meat consumption and it was rather tasty. it is supposed to be a side dish (all the broccoli and egg recipes that appear on google searches are too) and it would probably be best for that. as a meal in itself it was fine.
would i cook it again? yes, but not on high rotation, and probably as a side to something else
