A delightful breakfast idea featuring soft-boiled eggs paired with buttery toast strips for dipping.
Fill a saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle boil.
Use enough water to fully submerge the eggs for even cooking.
Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water using a spoon.
Lower the eggs gently to prevent cracking.
Boil the eggs for 4-5 minutes for a soft yolk.
Adjust the boiling time slightly for a firmer or runnier yolk.
While the eggs are boiling, toast the bread slices until golden brown.
Use a toaster or grill for even toasting.
Spread butter over the warm toast slices.
Butter the toast while it's warm for easy spreading.
Cut the toast into strips for dipping.
Aim for strips about 1 inch wide for easy dipping.
Once the eggs are cooked, remove them from the water and place them in egg cups.
Run the eggs under cold water briefly to make them easier to handle.
Crack the top of each egg with a knife and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Use a sharp knife for a clean cut.
Serve the eggs with the toast strips for dipping and enjoy.
Serve immediately to enjoy the eggs warm.
