Œuf à la coque

Ingrédients

• 1 large egg
• salt, and pepper to taste (optional)
• toast, buttered (optional, but highly recommended)

Préparation

1. 1

   boil: Place your egg in a small pot of water and bring to a boil. When your water starts boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 3 minutes.

2. 2

   Remove your egg from the hot water and submerge it in a bowl of cold water until it is easy to handle.

3. 3

   remove: Using the back of a butter knife, carefully crack the shell about 1/3 of the way down from the pointy end of your egg. Carefully remove the upper portion of the shell.

4. 4

   Enjoy your soft-boiled egg with a small spoon and some buttered toast cut into thin strips, thin enough to be dunked into your egg yolk.

5. 5

   Enjoy!
