Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Fill a small saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Carefully place the eggs in the boiling water with the help of a spoon to avoid cracking the shells.
Boil the eggs for 4-5 minutes for soft-boiled eggs (adjust timing to your preference).
While the eggs cook, prepare a glass or small heatproof cup for serving.
Once the eggs are done, remove them from the boiling water and immediately place them under cold running water for 30 seconds to stop the cooking process.
Crack and scoop the eggs out of their shells into the serving glass, ensuring the yolks remain intact.
Add the unsalted butter to the glass while the eggs are still warm, allowing it to melt slightly.
Sprinkle the eggs with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Gently mix the egg and butter together with a spoon, being careful not to overmix to maintain texture.
If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added flavor and presentation.
Serve immediately with toast or crackers on the side for dipping.
