Step 1
Toss sliced red onion with vinegar and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Let sit while you prep the rest.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium-high until foaming, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Crack both eggs into the skillet. Cook until whites set but yolks still jiggle, about 3 minutes.
Step 4
Toast the rye bread in the same skillet (no need to wipe it) until edges crisp, about 2 minutes per side.
Step 5
Butter the warm toast. Top each slice with herring, a soft egg, and a handful of pickled red onion.
Step 6
Serve immediately while toast is still warm.
