Ingredients

  • 4 large size eggs
  • 4 pieces of bread sourdough 1/2" thick cut preferred
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1/2 tsp dried thyme leaves
  • 1/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Place eggs on counter next to stove.
  2. Add water halfway up a medium to large sauce pan and bring to a boil.
  3. Once water is boiling, carefully add eggs, lowering slowly and gently into pot so that the shell does not crack. Immediately reduce heat to medium / medium-low to a strong simmer (so that there are still small bubbles pushing up to the top, but not an aggressive boil that will crack the eggs). Cook for 6 minutes and immediately remove and crack the egg for soft boiled. Leave in the water for 1.5 minutes longer for a hard boil egg (better for children).
  4. Meanwhile, heat a griddle or a large skillet over medium-high heat. Butter both sides of bread pieces and sprinkle with thyme and parmesan, gently pressing both into the butter. Grill for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove from skillet and cut into 1" wide long pieces.
