How To Make soft-cooked dipping eggs

Step 1

Place the eggs in a single layer in a deep saucepan with enough water to cover eggs at at least an inch.

Step 2

Bring water to a boil over high heat. Immediately remove pan from heat to stop boiling. Cover the saucepan and let eggs stand in water for 2 to 4 minutes until cooked as desired.
Step 3

Drain the water and immediately run cold water over the eggs to cool them a bit. Place each egg into an egg cup.
Step 4

Toast the bread and spread with butter. Cut toast into 1-inch strips.
Step 5

Crack the tops off eggs with a knife. Salt and pepper eggs as desired. Serve toast strips with eggs for dipping into soft yolks.
