Ingredients:

  • 8 slices bread
  • 1 stick butter
  • 8 eggs
  • Salt and pepper

Directions:

  • Fill a pot or deep fry pan (preferably Teflon) with water and bring to a boil.  The water should be deep enough to cover the top of the eggs.
  • Add a dot of butter or vegetable oil to keep the eggs from sticking to the pan.
  • Once boiling, turn the heat down to medium high and crack one eggs at a time into the water.
  • Cook until whites are not runny and yolks are set but not hard.
  • While eggs are cooking, toast and butter the bread.
  • Remove eggs with a slotted spoon; serve over toast.
  • Salt and pepper to taste.
