here in portugal, we have a traditional dish that’s almost the same. It’s called açorda, and we have many ways to do it. The easiest way is to boil water with olive oil, and crushed garlic.
When it’s boiling put the egg inside (without the shell, only the contents), and let it poach (I think it’s the term for it?). When it’s done (time depends on how you like the egg, more or less done) take the water off the fire. Beforehand you had a recipient with old bread cut up in squares and you put the water with the egg over the bread.
It’s a very heartful meal. There’s also a recipe for shrimp “Açorda” but I never did it, so I can’t post it here.
