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.

And healthy, our late Queen had eggs for breakfast every day! The reason being eggs boost protein intake and prevent
hunger and having cravings, it prevents weight gain and reduce the risk of osteoporosis and sarcopenia ( loss of muscle mass), as protein is also vital for strong bones and muscles. It also boost levels of a hormone called peptide YY, which makes you feel full. Also, a study found out that people who eat eggs every day had a lower risk of heart disease and stroke than those who ate eggs less frequently.
