Ingredients
  

  • 1 Egg, medium
  • 1 Wholemeal bread, slice
  • 1 tsp Olive oil
  • 20 g Goat's cheese
  • 1 g Salt

Instructions
 

  • Fill half of a small pan with water. Place the egg in the water and turn on a small-medium burner on high heat.
  • Wait a few minutes until you start seeing the first bubbles forming. If yolk, take the egg out in 2 minutes. If you prefer it slightly firmer or the egg is large then give it an extra 1-2 minutes.
  • In the meantime, put a slice of wholemeal bread in the toaster. Drizzle the toast with olive oil and cut into soldiers when ready.
  • When the egg is ready, lift from the pan with a spoon and place in an egg cup.
  • Serve it still hot, with toast, cheese and coffee. Sprinkle a little bit of salt on the yolk for a tastier boiled egg.
