1. For the cured egg yolks, place the soy sauce in a small bowl, gently add the egg yolks making sure you don't break them and set aside at room temperature for about 1 hour.
2. Heat a chargrill pan over medium heat. Drizzle the bread slices generously with olive oil and toast on both sides. While still warm, butter one side of the toast.
