I love eggs, but what I love even more are soft boiled eggs. A friend of mine recently gave me a handy little kitchen tool: a plastic egg that you put in the water with the real eggs and, depending on the heat and amount of time you leave it in, it changes colour to tell you how your egg is cooked. It’s this one here and it really does work!
Anyway I made a soft boiled egg. And then I looked at it and thought, what can I do to elevate it? (I’ve been definitely watching too much Masterchef!)
Two words: Truffle Oil.
And it’s so simple that one photo is more than enough.
A soft boiled egg.
Truffle oil. Only put a few drops, then mix the egg well inside its shell.
Salt.
Pepper.
