Breaking the Fast: Boiling Softly

Soft boiled eggs. Blistered fresh pita. Fresh ground pepper and kosher salt. Mug of black tea not pictured.


To replicate the wondrous oozy consistency of these perfect soft boiled eggs...

1) Bring a saucepan of water to a boil.

2) Carefully drop eggs in (no more than three at a time so the temperature doesn't drop too drastically). Add a healthy pinch of salt to make peeling easier.

3) Boil for exactly 5 minutes, then take off heat, drain and run cold water over eggs until easy to handle and peel.

4) Peel eggs. Add seasonings of choice. Serve with your favorite bread for dipping into creamy yolk.


This is a sunny morning breakfast. Enjoy when the sun is showing his fickle face or when the clouds have taken over the skies. 

Bon appétit!
