- Fill a large frying pan with enough water to cover the kippers, and bring it to a gentle simmer

- Meanwhile, melt half the butter in the second pan over medium heat

- Plate the toasted sourdough as a base
- Lay the smoked kippers over the toast
- Place fried eggs alongside or on top of the kippers, as you prefer

- Garnish with lemon wedges for squeezing over the fish just before eating
- Serve immediately while hot
