How it's made

Directions

  1. Bring water to a boil
  2. Add eggs
  3. Boil eggs for 5 minutes (6 minutes if you like the yolks a little more firm)
  4. After boiling, place the pot in your sink and run cold water into it until the eggs are cool to the touch.
  5. Make toast (we start the toast when the eggs are still cooking).
  6. Cut the toast into several strips for dipping (we usually make 5 or 6 thin strips).
  7. Make a crack in the egg about a half inch from the top, then use a spoon to scoop the top off the egg.
  8. This should reveal the runny yolk.
  9. Find something to sit the egg in (buy an egg holder if you'll be making them frequently - it's worth it!)
  10. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  11. Have fun, We like to try and eat the egg out of the shell without breaking it!
