When ready to serve, bring your water back to boil and plunge them in for 20 seconds (warm), bring your sorrel sauce to boil, place your drained egg in its cavity, drizzle a few drops of hazelnut oil on your toast then coat with your sauce, and place your bacon slice.
The rest of the sauce in a sauce boat, in short a simple recipe and yet very tasty.
