Ingredients
- 4 egg large
- 2 bread large slices, bakery
- 2 tablespoons butter softened, unsalted
- 2 tablespoons soft fresh herb such as parsley, dill, chives, tarragon, or chervil (use at least 2, assorted, chopped
- sea salt flaky
Notes
- The cooling step is essential for stopping the cooking process to achieve the perfect texture.
- Adjust the cooking time based on your egg preference: 6-7 minutes for runnier yolks, 8-9 minutes for firmer but still soft yolks.
- Season your eggs right before serving to keep the salt from drawing out moisture.
- For the ultimate time-saver, boil a batch of eggs on Sunday and keep them unpeeled in the refrigerator for quick breakfasts throughout the busy work week.
