Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces large egg
- 2 slices white or brown bread
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 4 cups water
Instructions
1. Fill a small saucepan with 4 cups of water (or enough to fully submerge the eggs) and bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat.
2. Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water with a spoon to avoid cracking and set a timer for 6 minutes for soft-boiled eggs or 7 minutes for slightly firmer yolks.
3. While the eggs are boiling, toast the bread slices until golden brown and crispy.
4. Spread butter evenly over the surface of each toasted slice while still warm, allowing it to melt into the bread.
5. Slice the buttered toast into thin strips (approximately 1-inch wide), creating 'dippers' for the eggs.
6. Once the eggs have finished boiling, immediately transfer them to a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process and make them easier to handle. Let them cool for 1 minute.
7. Carefully peel the eggs, being mindful not to break the soft, runny yolks inside.
8. Place the peeled eggs into a small egg cup or bowl, and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
9. Serve immediately with the toasted bread dippers on the side. Dunk the bread strips into the soft yolks for a delicious and comforting bite!
