Instructions

1. Boil the Eggs

• Bring a pot of water to a boil. Gently lower the eggs into the water using a spoon.
• Cook the eggs to your desired doneness:
  • Soft-boiled: 6-7 minutes (runny yolk)
  • Medium-boiled: 8-9 minutes (slightly firmer yolk)
  • Hard-boiled: 10-12 minutes (fully set yolk)
• Once cooked, transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let cool for 2 minutes, then peel.

2. Prepare the Bread

• Lightly toast the bread slices to give them a warm, crisp texture.

3. Assemble the Dish

• Place the peeled eggs on a plate and slice them in half, if desired.
• Arrange the toasted bread slices alongside the eggs.
• Drizzle the bread generously with extra-virgin olive oil.
• Sprinkle the eggs and bread with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper.

4. Garnish and Serve

• Optional: Sprinkle fresh herbs over the eggs or bread for extra flavor.
• Serve immediately and enjoy dipping the bread into the yolk if the eggs are soft-boiled.
