In the world of breakfast options, there’s one classic dish that never fails to satisfy both taste buds and hunger pangs: soft boiled egg toast. This simple yet delightful creation brings together the comforting warmth of a perfectly cooked soft boiled egg with the crispy goodness of toasted bread. It’s a match made in breakfast heaven.
This a delicious and satisfying toast that is so easy to make. The fun thing to make is the jammy soft-boiled egg. Once you get the trick of making this kind of soft-boiled egg, it’s easy. It’s more like steaming the egg instead of fully boiled. In a small saucepan put in a little bit of water. The water comes up to 1/4 of the egg’s height. First, boil the water. Then drop the egg into the water and cover. Boil for 6 1/2 minutes. Remove the egg from the water. And peel the egg as soon remove from the pot. I think a jammy soft-boiled egg is best for this dish instead a regular soft-boiled egg that is too runny.
While the egg is boiling you can toast the bread. I used a stove grill pan. I brushed both sides of the bread with olive oil. And popped it on the grill pan. It gives the bread a nice grill mark. Also, I grilled the zucchini in the same pan. I brushed the zucchini with olive oil and seasoning. I put them on the grill and it cooked them with grill marks. After I finished grilling the bread and zucchini, I peeled the jammy egg. And I began the assembly of this zucchini toast.
