"The simplest recipe in my arsenal also happens to be one of my favorites, and I'm here to spread its gospel. The technique, which I first heard about in Food52's "Genius Recipes" column, is one you'll master quickly and likely never forget. The magic happens when rich egg yolk and a punchy vinegar reduction collide, striking a seemingly flawless flavor balance. Sop it up with good, crusty bread, and I trust you'll be a vinegar-for-breakfast convert, too. Any wine vinegar will do the trick, so feel free to use whatever you have on hand."
