My relationship with eggs has always been a strange one. Sometimes I wouldn't have eaten eggs for months and then I'd eat them for 14 days straight. Well, I guess weird just meant listening and adapting to my body's protein needs.
But one thing I know for sure. Eggs are one of my favorite fall and winter breakfasts. The bright and vibrant yellow color of the egg yolk brings out all the energy of the Sun that is often hidden in the morning fog and rain.
Hard-boiled eggs on a slice of bread with soft butter and a pinch of salt, that's how I've eaten my egg all my life. Many have argued that there is no point in eating hard-boiled eggs, since all the beneficial components that our body needs (such as lecithin, fat, calcium, iron, zinc and many vitamins) can be found in the yolk of a hard-boiled egg. raw or soft. I kept this in mind every time I ate eggs, but it wasn't until my first visit to New York this June that I started looking into other ways to prepare eggs. Reason? Well, in a goody bag we received at the Saveur Blog Awards, there was one more special item. It is known as egg crackers/top.
The egg beater has an amazing ability to send vibrations into the eggshell and crack it that way. When you remove the top, you're left with a beautifully served soft-boiled egg – a bulletproof way to impress your guests or spouses. How cool is that?
So how do you prepare perfectly soft boiled eggs every time? Here is the secret.
1. Pour water into a pot that is one centimeter high.
2. We put the water to boil.
3. Put the eggs in a pot. Cover a pot with a lid and leave it like that until the eggs are ready.
4. Cook for six and a half minutes.
5. Discard the water and cool the eggs under cold water. Use the egg cracker to remove the top of the egg.
6. Enjoy your breakfast with a slice of sourdough bread! My favorite is definitely the deep earthy flavored rye bread this OR this.
