Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Large egg
- 1 slice Bread slice (white or wholegrain)
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Bring a small pot of water to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Carefully lower the egg into the boiling water using a spoon. Cook for 5-6 minutes for a soft-boiled egg with a runny yolk.
While the egg is cooking, toast the bread slice until golden brown.
Spread the butter evenly over the warm toast and cut it into small, bite-sized squares.
Once the egg is done, immediately remove it from the pot and place it in a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process. Let it sit for 1 minute.
Gently tap the egg to crack the shell and peel it carefully.
Cut the peeled egg into small pieces and place them in a cup or bowl.
Add the buttered toast squares to the cup, mixing them gently with the egg pieces.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Serve warm and enjoy your comforting Irish Egg in a Cup!
