What you see above may look pedestrian — scrambled eggs, some country ham, a bit of hot sauce, a side salad, and some rye toast.
What it is in reality is the most absurdly delicious, perfect version of those things. That's what Sqirl does: Perfected classics.
This dish is known as "Rugbrød Toast," and the menu describes it as, "Triple-egg soft scramble, house ham, Rugbrød, lacto-fermented hot sauce, Shu greens."
So, uh, what's "Rugbrød"? That's just how you say "rye bread" in Danish, because this is a particularly Danish variety of rye bread. It's been buttered liberally, and grilled until the outside is crisp and the inside is warmed through.
The eggs are, as advertised, soft and right on the edge of being too soft. The house ham is, also as advertised, made in house. And the hot sauce is absurdly delicious. It's got a beautifully subtle spank of tang from fermentation, and a slightly sharper spike of spice kick.
I could just eat at Sqirl for every meal while in Los Angeles. It is tremendously heartwarming food.
