What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Clean Eating: Yolk-Stream Morning Eggs! I’m always in a good mood when I make these soft-boiled eggs for breakfast. Perhaps it’s because I get to dip crunchy, buttery strips of toast into the yolk and watch it run over the edge of the cup. I imagine the toast as soldiers on parade, each awaiting their turn to be dunked. Or maybe it’s because slurping the fatty center of the egg makes me feel naughty and I’m completely aware I’m getting away with it. In any event, playing with my food this way is absolutely satisfying.
YOLK-STREAM MORNING EGGS
Ingredients:
4 large eggs
2 slices whole wheat bread, toasted
2 tablespoons butter, softened
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan on the stove. Fill the pan with cold water, covering eggs. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce to a rapid simmer. Cook 6 minutes for a runny yolk-stream. Remove eggs from water with a slotted spoon. Transfer immediately to individual egg cups. Butter toast and slice into strips for dipping into the egg yolks. Crack the egg near the top, remove its“lid” and scoop the white of the egg from the shell. Dip toast “soldiers” into the runny yolk. Season with salt and pepper.

Tomorrow’s breakfast. Yummo! Australians actually call strips of toast ‘soldiers’.

You’ll laugh at this. I get my eggs from my friend and her flock is quite varied, there are everything from small to massive double-yolks jumbos, so when I make my soft boiled eggs, I weigh them to get them all around the same size so I’ll know how long to steam them!

Excellent idea! I wish I could get farm-fresh eggs. They seem to be “Golden Nuggets” in my neck of the woods. 🥚🥚🥚

I am lucky indeed. My friend raises chickens and lamb. She really raises the lamb for the wool as she is a world-class spinner and crochet/knitting expert. The eggs are pretty great too, but I don’t think she raises the chickens for the feathers…

My mother used to make soft boiled eggs like this on special occasions and put the egg in a little holder that was so cute! She would dress up the table for just those eggs. This reminds me of those days and now you have got me craving them!
