Ingredients
  • 2 eggs, preferably heirloom varieties, at room temperature
  • 2 tablespoon salted butter
  • 2 slices toast, toasted
  • sea salt, to taste
Directions
  1. Submerge eggs in a small saucepan covered with 1 inch of water. Remove the eggs and bring the water to a boil over high heat and immediately add the eggs. Turn the heat down to medium-low, keeping the water at a gentle simmer (about 180 degrees). Once simmering, cook for about 3 minutes. Immediately remove the eggs and plunge into an ice bath for about 2 minutes, or until eggs are cool to the touch.
  2. Meanwhile, spread still warm toast with butter to melt. Cut into ½-¾ inch spears.
  3. Place each egg in a small cup and crack the pointy end with the end of a knife or spoon to crack shell. Gently peel skin away. Sprinkle with salt and use toast to dunk into molten yolk. Enjoy.
