Preparation method

Preparation & Cooking

Ideally, remove the eggs from the refrigerator 30 minutes before preparation so they can reach room temperature. Bring enough water to a boil in a small pot so that the eggs will be just covered later. Lightly salt the water.

Carefully slide the eggs into the boiling water with a spoon. Reduce the heat slightly, cover the pot, and let the eggs simmer gently for exactly 5 minutes. If the eggs come directly from the refrigerator, extend the cooking time by one minute.

While the eggs are cooking, prepare four glasses, saucers, and long spoons. Finely chop the chives, toast the bread until golden brown, and spread it generously with butter.

Chef's tip

For a gourmet variation, you can sprinkle some grated Parmesan over the eggs or add a few drops of truffle oil. Smoked salmon or caviar also make excellent luxurious additions.
