Sometimes I just feel like a simple meal for dinner or brekky, and this is my go to feel good food. It took me a while to perfect, as I cannot stand an undercooked or overcooked egg. The 6.5 minutes is the key, as is the pinch of salt which helps the water to boil faster.


Ingredients (serves 1 | makes 1 serve)

  • 2 eggs, free range and size large or bigger :)
  • 2 pinches Murray Valley Pink Salt, or iodised table salt
  • 1 Slice toast with yummy fresh butter

Method

  1. Boil enough water to cover eggs, adding 1 pinch of salt. Once water is boiled put in the two eggs. Time the cooking for 6.5 minutes. I give a stir to the water every couple of minutes to minimise the risk of the shells cracking
  2. Cook toast whilst eggs are boiling, I like a high fibre white bread.
  3. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Look around your local area and see if you can buy free range, farm fresh eggs...

  • I have never cooked my eggs for that long and they are always perfectly cooked, but I guess there would be many factors! :-)

  • My eggs would be hard boiled in that time. Remove the eggs from the fridge an hour or so before cooking. It also depends how hard the water is boiling – whether you have the controls set on high, medium or low and how deep the water is.

  • oh I loved a good runny egg when I was a kid, my kids love runny poached eggs but I may have to give them one of these to try (they haven’t been huge fans in the past as I have over cooked them!)

    Thank you for sharing your way of doing this
