Eggs cooked this way are a revelation — silky whites that are just set, with yolks that are warm, thick, and gloriously jammy in the center. The immersion circulator does all the heavy lifting here, holding the water at a precise 167°F so every single egg comes out exactly the same way, every time. There's no guesswork, no hovering over a pan, and no rubbery disappointment. A shower of flaky sea salt and cracked black pepper is really all you need to finish them off, though sliding one onto a buttered slice of toast takes the whole thing somewhere truly special. Since the recipe is built entirely around eggs, bread, butter, and seasoning, it's naturally free of any pork-derived ingredients — no hidden additives, no cured meat drippings, nothing to second-guess. It's the kind of simple, ingredient-forward cooking that proves you don't need much to make something genuinely impressive.

Fill a large pot or container with water and attach the immersion circulator. Set the temperature to 167°F (75°C) and allow the water to come fully up to temperature.
Gently lower the eggs (still in their shells) into the water bath using a slotted spoon. Cook for 13 minutes — at this time and temperature the whites will be just set and opaque throughout, and the yolks will be warm, thick, and jammy.
