Ingredients
- 2 fresh organic eggs, preferably from a local farm or home
- 1 slice buttered toast, cut into "soldiers"
- salt
- pepper
Instructions
- Place the eggs in a pot and cover with 1" of cold water (meaning, the eggs should be covered with an inch of water.)
- Bring to a boil over medium high heat, and as soon as the water comes to a boil, remove from the heat, cover the pot and let stand: 1 1/2 to 2 minutes for soft boiled (I did two minutes for large eggs) less time for smaller eggs, more for larger or 12 minutes for hard boiled eggs.
- For soft boiled, remove and serve immediately in an egg cup with soldiers and hot tea.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Be sure to use the freshest, best quality eggs you can find, and if you do not trust the source, do not use them for this recipe.
