A delightful and simple breakfast recipe featuring soft-boiled eggs and crispy toast dippers, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Fill a saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle boil.
Ensure the water is at a gentle boil to avoid cracking the eggs.
Carefully place the eggs into the boiling water and cook for 4-5 minutes for a soft yolk.
Use a spoon to gently lower the eggs into the water to prevent them from breaking.
While the eggs are cooking, toast the bread slices until golden and crispy.
For extra flavor, you can lightly butter the bread before toasting.
Spread butter evenly over the toasted bread.
Allow the toast to cool slightly before spreading the butter to prevent it from melting too quickly.
Cut the buttered toast into thin strips, ideal for dipping.
Aim for uniform strips to ensure even 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.
Tap the top of each egg with a spoon to crack and remove the shell.
Gently tap around the top of the egg to create a clean opening.
Serve the eggs with the toast dippers on the side.
Encourage dipping the toast into the egg yolk for the best experience.
