Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 4 pieces white or whole-grain bread slices
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper (optional)
Instructions
Fill a medium-sized saucepan halfway with water and bring it to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water using a spoon to prevent them from cracking.
Boil the eggs for exactly 6 minutes for a soft, runny yolk or 7 minutes if you prefer them slightly less runny.
While the eggs cook, preheat a skillet over medium heat.
Butter both sides of the bread slices using the unsalted butter.
Place the buttered bread slices into the preheated skillet and toast each side for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
Slice the toasted bread into strips about 1 inch wide, creating 'toast soldiers' for dipping.
Once the eggs are done boiling, immediately transfer them to a bowl of iced water to stop the cooking process.
Let the eggs chill for 1-2 minutes, then gently crack and peel the shells.
Place the eggs in small egg cups or bowls, and season them with a pinch of salt and black pepper if desired.
Serve the Dunkie Eggs immediately with the toast soldiers on the side for dipping into the runny yolks.
