This was/is a family comfort dish going back to my earliest memories. Toast
and butter bread well, cut or tear into large pieces, and put in a large
bowl.

Poach eggs in milk until done to yer liking (for me cooked whites and runny
yolk). Place cooked eggs over the toast and add the hot poaching milk over
the eggs and toast. You probably won't want to use all the milk. I like a
lot though. Sprinkle with salt and ground black pepper. Eat it as messily as
desired.

I almost always poach my eggs in milk no matter how I use them. I like the
way the milk holds the eggs together without resorting to using the sour
taste of vinegar.
