Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • To taste salt & pepper

Recipe Method

Bring a pan of salted water to a simmer. The salt will help lower the cooking temperature, helping avoid rubbery eggs :-) Make sure your eggs are at room temperature (i.e. remove from the fridge a good few hours before cooking).

Add the eggs carefully. Depending on the size and how well done you like your eggs, remove after 3-4 minutes. Run the eggs under a cold tap, or plunge into ice water for a few seconds - this will stop the egg from cooking in it's shell.

Serve, preferably with some toast :-)
