Egg Flight Toast Delight (Printable)

Toasted bread layered with scrambled, soft-boiled, and fried eggs for a flavorful breakfast experience.

# 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

# Directions:

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 boiling water and cook for 6½ minutes for a soft-boiled yolk. Transfer to ice water, peel, and halve.
03 - Heat ½ tablespoon 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. Remove from heat.
04 - Wipe the skillet clean. Heat ½ tablespoon butter and 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium heat. Crack in the third egg and cook 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 scrambled egg on one third, halved soft-boiled egg on the second third, and fried egg on the last third.
06 - Sprinkle chopped chives, chili flakes, and microgreens over the eggs if desired. Serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • Three egg preparations mean three different textures and temperatures all in one bite—no single version ever feels boring again.
  • It comes together in 25 minutes, which makes it feel fancy enough for a weekend but fast enough for when you actually have time to eat breakfast.
  • Every component teaches you something: soft-boiling teaches patience, scrambling teaches intuition, frying teaches confidence.
02 -
  • Timing is everything—start the soft-boiled egg first, then begin the scramble about halfway through its cook time, so everything comes together in the same moment.
  • The ice bath for the soft-boiled egg isn't just technique; it stops the cooking process and makes peeling so much easier that it feels like a small magic trick.
  • Don't walk away from the scrambled egg while it cooks; it goes from creamy to rubbery in about 30 seconds, and your attention is what makes the difference.
03 -
  • Use the same skillet for the scrambled and fried eggs; just wipe it clean between, and you'll have one less thing to wash while your breakfast is still hot.
  • If you're nervous about soft-boiling, set a phone alarm for exactly 6 minutes and 30 seconds—the precision takes the guesswork out and builds your confidence for next time.
