Soft Boiled Eggs With Anchovy Toast Recipes

SOFT-BOILED EGG AND WHITE ANCHOVY BREAKFAST SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Fill a pot about halfway with water, and bring it to a boil over high heat. Use a large spoon to lower the eggs (in their shells) into the water one at a time. Reduce the heat to medium-high, and cook the eggs for 6 to 7 minutes-6 minutes for a runnier yolk, 7 minutes for a tighter, thicker yolk. While the eggs are cooking, toast the bread.
• When the eggs are cooked, remove them from the heat immediately and gently run cold tap water over them until they're cool enough to be handled. Carefully crack the eggs with a light tap, and peel them like hard-boiled eggs.
• Mash 1 egg on each piece of toasted bread with a fork. Top each egg with a sprinkling of parsley and 3 anchovy fillets, and season with salt and pepper.

SOFT BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Fill a medium sized saucepan with water and bring to a rolling boil.
• Make sure your eggs aren't fridge cold. By having the eggs at room temperature, it will be less of a shock for the egg reaching the hot water and therefore less likely to crack. You can also use an egg pricker to make a very small hole in each egg before boiling, which will also reduce the chances of it cracking in the heat. Slowly lower the eggs into the water using a spoon.
• Set your timer for 4-5 mins for runny/dippy eggs to serve with soldiers, or 6-7 mins for soft-boiled eggs for a salad. If serving in a salad, plunge the eggs into a bowl of cold water as soon as the timer goes off - this will stop them cooking and cool the shells quickly for peeling.

SOFT-BOILED EGGS WITH TOAST

Steps:

• Boil a saucepan of water. Slowly lower the eggs into the pan on a slotted spoon (to not crack on the bottom). Cook for 4 minutes. Remove and place in cold water. Meanwhile toast the bread and spread with butter.
• Scoop the eggs into a small bowl. Break the bread into pieces and add to the bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Stir the eggs and toast together until the toast is coated with yolk.
