Soft boiled eggs with whole-wheat toast is a classic and nutritious breakfast option that's quick to prepare and delicious to eat. This simple recipe combines the rich, creamy texture of soft boiled eggs with the hearty goodness of whole-wheat toast, finished off with a dash of black pepper and salt to enhance the flavors.
Instructions:
1.1. Fill a medium-sized pot halfway with water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.
1.2. Once the water is boiling, gently lower the 4 eggs into the pot using a spoon to prevent them from cracking.
1.3. Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cook the eggs for exactly 6 minutes for a perfectly soft-boiled texture.
1.4. While the eggs are cooking, prepare a bowl of ice water.
1.5. After 6 minutes, immediately transfer the eggs from the pot to the ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for about 2 minutes.
2.1. While the eggs are cooling, place the 4 slices of whole-wheat bread into a toaster or under a broiler.
2.2. Toast the bread until it reaches your desired level of crispiness, usually about 2-3 minutes depending on your toaster or broiler setting.
3.1. Carefully peel the eggs once they are cool enough to handle.
3.2. Place the peeled soft-boiled eggs on a plate.
3.3. Sprinkle a dash of black pepper and a dash of salt evenly over the eggs.
3.4. Cut or leave the toasts whole, and arrange them on the plate alongside the eggs.
Tips:
- Use a timer to ensure you cook the eggs exactly to your preferred level of doneness. Generally, soft boiled eggs take about 6-7 minutes.
- Toast the whole-wheat bread to your desired level of crispiness. For best results, use a toaster or oven set to medium-high.
- To make peeling the eggs easier, immerse them in ice water immediately after boiling to cool them down quickly.
- Feel free to add other seasonings or a bit of butter on the toast for added flavour.
