Egg Flight Toast Delight (Printable Version)

Toasted bread topped with scrambled, soft-boiled, and fried eggs offers varied textures in each bite.

# What You'll 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 tbsp unsalted butter
06 - 1 tsp olive oil
07 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Garnishes (optional)

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

# Steps:

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. Remove and set aside.
02 - Bring a small saucepan 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 egg to ice water, peel, and cut in half.
03 - Heat half a tablespoon of butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Whisk one egg with a pinch of salt and pepper, pour into the skillet, and stir gently with a spatula until just set and creamy. Remove from heat.
04 - In the same skillet wiped clean, heat half a tablespoon of butter and one teaspoon of 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 final third.
06 - Optionally sprinkle chopped chives, chili flakes, and microgreens over the eggs. Serve immediately.

# Expert Insights:

01 -
  • Three distinct textures and flavors in one bite, so you never get bored mid-breakfast.
  • It looks fancy enough to impress someone but takes less than 30 minutes, no special skills required.
  • Each egg style teaches you something new about heat, timing, and patience in the kitchen.
02 -
  • Timing is everything with soft-boiled eggs—even 30 seconds too long or short changes the whole vibe, so use a timer and trust it.
  • Cooking all three eggs at different times is intentional; cramming them into one pan at once is chaos, and your plate will tell the truth about your rush.
03 -
  • Use the hottest-running burner on your stove for the fried egg so the whites set quickly while the yolk stays untouched and runny.
  • Keep everything warm while you're plating by setting plates in the oven at its lowest temperature—a cold plate steals all the heat from your eggs in seconds.
