Print this Recipe

Serving: 1

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 6 ½ minutes

Ingredients

PEPPER SEA SALT FLAKES 50G TUB

1 medium egg, room temperature

Toast, to serve

Maldon Pepper Sea Salt, to serve

Iced water

  1. Place a medium pan of water on to boil. When it comes up to a boil, then reduce to heat to a gently simmer – you want a few bubbles coming from the bottom of the pan.
  2. Lower the egg carefully into the water using a slotted spoon and then set a timer for 6 ½ minutes. Pop some bread into the toaster to toast.
  3. Place some ice cubes into a large bowl and then add cold water – this ice bath will help the egg to stop cooking immediately after taking it out of the boiling water.
  4. After 6 ½ minutes, lift the egg with the slotted spoon and place it into the iced water. Leave it for a couple of minutes until it is cool enough to handle. Then carefully peel off the shell.
  5. Slice the egg in half to reveal the ‘jammy’ centre and serve on top of buttered toast.
  6. Sprinkle over some Maldon Pepper Sea Salt and enjoy.
