Egg Flight Toast Delight (Printable Version)

A tasty toast topped with three egg styles offering varied flavors and textures in one bite.

# Ingredient List:

→ Bread

01 - 1 large slice sourdough or country-style bread

→ Eggs

02 - 1 large egg, scrambled
03 - 1 large egg, soft-boiled
04 - 1 large egg, fried

→ For Cooking

05 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
06 - 1 teaspoon olive oil
07 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Garnishes (optional)

08 - Chopped fresh chives
09 - Chili flakes
10 - Microgreens

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the bread slice on a baking sheet and toast for 5 to 7 minutes until golden and crisp. Set aside.
02 - Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Gently lower one egg into the water and cook for 6 and a half minutes to achieve a soft-boiled yolk. Transfer to ice water, peel, and halve.
03 - Heat half a tablespoon of butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Whisk one egg with salt and pepper, then pour into the skillet. Stir gently until just set and creamy, then remove from heat.
04 - In the same skillet, add the remaining half tablespoon of butter and one teaspoon olive oil over medium heat. Crack in the third egg and fry until whites are set but yolk remains runny, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
05 - Place the toasted bread on a plate. Arrange the scrambled egg on one third, the halved soft-boiled egg on the second third, and the fried egg on the last third.
06 - Optionally garnish with chopped chives, chili flakes, and microgreens. Serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

  • It teaches you three essential egg techniques in one meal, so you're actually leveling up your cooking skills while eating breakfast.
  • You can prep everything in less time than scrolling through your phone, yet it tastes like you spent all morning in the kitchen.
  • The visual drama of three different egg preparations on one plate makes ordinary toast feel fancy without any extra effort.
02 -
  • The soft-boiled egg is the most forgiving if you're off by a minute in either direction, but the scrambled eggs will toughen up instantly if you stop stirring too early or keep cooking them after they set—pull them off heat when they still look a touch underdone.
  • Having everything prepped and ready before you start cooking eggs is non-negotiable; once you begin, you can't pause to hunt for the salt shaker without risking one of your three preparations.
03 -
  • Room-temperature eggs cook more gently and evenly than cold ones straight from the fridge, especially for scrambling where you want that creamy texture.
  • Invest in a small kitchen timer specifically for soft-boiling eggs—that 6½-minute window is where the magic lives, and even 30 seconds either way changes the final texture noticeably.
