Egg Flight Toast Delight (Printable)

Toasted bread layered with scrambled, soft-boiled, and fried eggs for a satisfying morning bite.

# Components:

→ 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

→ Cooking fats and seasoning

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

# 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. Remove and 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 to achieve a soft-boiled yolk. Transfer the 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 just set and creamy. Remove from heat.
04 - In the same skillet, wiped clean, heat ½ tablespoon butter and 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium heat. Crack in the third egg and cook until whites are set and yolk remains runny, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
05 - Arrange the toasted bread on a plate. Place the scrambled egg on one third, the halved soft-boiled egg on the second third, and the fried egg on the final third. Garnish with chopped chives, chili flakes, and microgreens if desired. Serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Three different egg textures in one bite keeps your palate interested from start to finish.
  • It looks elegant enough to serve guests but takes less time than a proper omelet.
  • You can prep everything in one skillet, which means minimal cleanup on a weekday morning.
02 -
  • The soft-boiled egg needs to go in the ice bath immediately or it will continue cooking inside the shell and turn hard—don't skip this step even though it feels fussy.
  • Using the same skillet for the scrambled and fried eggs saves dishes, but wipe it out between eggs so you're not cooking scrambled eggs in fried egg residue.
03 -
  • Fresh eggs peel more easily than older ones, so if your soft-boiled eggs are refusing to cooperate, your eggs might be a few weeks old—check the carton and try again with fresher stock.
  • The scrambled egg will look underdone when you pull it off heat, but trust the process; that creamy texture is what makes it special, and it finishes cooking from residual heat.
