Ingredients
- 2 pieces large egg
- 2 slices white or brown bread
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 4 cups water
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
3. While the eggs are boiling, toast the bread slices until golden brown and crispy.
Step 4
4. Spread butter evenly over the surface of each toasted slice while still warm, allowing it to melt into the bread.
Step 5
5. Slice the buttered toast into thin strips (approximately 1-inch wide), creating 'dippers' for the eggs.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
7. Carefully peel the eggs, being mindful not to break the soft, runny yolks inside.
Step 8
8. Place the peeled eggs into a small egg cup or bowl, and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Step 9
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!
