Ingredients
2 – Eggs
Water to boil eggs
1 tsp – White vinegar
A slice of sourdough
1 tsp – Butter
1 tbsp – Spicy Mayo/any Spread of your choice/Hummus (adjust as per liking)
2-3 leaves – Lettuce
2 – Cherry tomatoes, cut in half
2-3 – Cucumber slices
Extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) to drizzle
Salt + pepper to taste
Method
*Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Gently place the eggs, still in their shell, in the water.
*Set a timer and cook for exactly six minutes. This will yield a runny yolk but a set white.
*Remove the cooked eggs from the water and place them in an ice bath and add a teaspoon of vinegar. This makes it easier to peel.
*Toast your bread in a pan with some butter until it gets some colour.
*To assemble, smear your spread on the toast followed by some lettuce, cucumbers and cherry tomatoes. Finish off with the two soft-boiled peeled eggs.
*Drizzle some EVOO and sprinkle with some salt and pepper for taste and serve immediately.
Pro tip: If you want it hard boiled, then cook it for eight minutes.
