Manhattan Tophat

I love unusual cookbooks and this one that my friend gave me tops the weirdness charts

It’s put together by SPACE studios and each recipe is from a different artist. It goes from hugely surreal recipes like Worm Sandwich, Cornish Pebbles on a bed of Concrete Fool, and Humble Pie, to little gems such as Elvis Presley’s Fried Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich, Mrs. Obuabang’s Fried Plantain and Manhattan Tophat, which I decided to make myself today, for brunch
All that I would add to the instructions, up there, is that you want to use a knob of butter for frying, salt over everything, and a bit of tabasco on the egg while it’s frying
Crack the egg into a cup first, to avoid any trouble. I used quite a small piece of bread so the egg leaked out underneath – I cut the messy bits off, as aesthetics are of primary importance here
And here he is
Doesn’t he look smart?
Conclusion: An extremely satisfying way to eat a fried egg with bread
