Egg Flight Toast Delight (Printable Version)

Toast layered with three egg preparations offering varied textures and flavors in every bite.

# What You Need:

→ 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

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the slice of bread 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 6½ minutes for a soft-boiled yolk. Transfer egg to ice water, peel, and cut in half.
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 with a spatula until the egg is just set and creamy. Remove from heat.
04 - Wipe the skillet clean and add ½ tablespoon butter and 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium heat. Crack in the third egg and cook until the whites are set but the 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 remaining third.
06 - Sprinkle chopped chives, chili flakes, and microgreens over the eggs if desired. Serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get three completely different textures and flavors in one glorious bite, so breakfast never feels boring.
  • It looks restaurant-quality but takes less time than waiting in a brunch line.
  • Each egg style teaches you a cooking technique you can use for every breakfast going forward.
02 -
  • The soft-boiled egg takes the longest to prepare, so start it first while you're heating your oven and gathering your other ingredients.
  • Using the same skillet for both the scrambled and fried eggs saves dishes and adds a tiny bit of residual butter flavor that deepens the taste.
03 -
  • Keep your butter heat moderate because high heat browns the solids and makes your eggs taste slightly burnt instead of rich and clean.
  • The ice water bath for your soft-boiled egg is non-negotiable—it stops the cooking process instantly and gives you that perfect jammy yolk every single time.
