13. salt and pepper for sprinkling on the poached egg

METHOD

• Heat a pan and add the bread cubes. Toast till they are light brown and crunchy. Transfer to a bowl.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• Wipe the pan of any remaining breadcrumbs . In the same pan add oil , when the oil is hot add the chopped onions. Sauté till slightly brown.
