Equipment

  • 1 egg cups

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs best quality you can find
  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • 2 slices bread toasted
  • 1 pinch sea salt to taste

Instructions

  • Place eggs in a small saucepan and cover with 1 inch of water.
    Remove the eggs and bring the water to a boil over high heat then add the eggs.
    Turn the heat down to medium-low, keeping the water at a gentle simmer.
    Once simmering, cook for about 3 minutes. Immediately remove the eggs and plunge into an ice bath for about 2 minutes, or until eggs are cool to the touch.
  • Meanwhile, spread still warm toast with butter to melt. Cut into ½-¾ inch spears.
  • Place each egg in an egg cup, large end down and crack the pointy end with the end of a knife or spoon to break the shell.
    Gently peel the shell away. Sprinkle with salt and use toast to dunk into the runny yolk. Enjoy.
