It's nothing big or special, but it is something that I have to have on weekends. During the work week I don't have time to really dwell on this, but there is nothing better then a slow breakfast on Saturday and Sunday.
It's a soft boiled egg, with sea salt flakes, fresh home-made bread and soft butter. Now, I do realise that I don't have to type down a recipe for boiled eggs, but when it comes to mine, I like them soft boiled. I take an egg that is at room temperature, and put it for 4 1/2 minutes in boiling water. What that gives you, is a firm egg white and a soft, creamy egg yolk. I then put some soft sea salt flakes on the opened egg, and then dip buttered bread inside to scoop everything up.
It's a little pleasure, maybe not even worth talking about, but I do believe that, if something so little can give you so much pleasure, then go for it.

ReplyDeleteGreetings, Joop
That's great. Thanks for visiting.
DeleteMMMM- yum!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting!
Deleteand you forgot the pleasure of taking photo's of these beautiful eggs in their pretty egg cups and sharing them with us, which gives us pleasure. now we can all enjoy your week end breakfast with you... hubby would love these, i only eat eggs FIRM as in hard hard boiled, he loves all his eggs soft.. he makes his on a griddle and leaves it like yours and dips bread in them.
ReplyDeleteEveryone has their own methods and likes. Thanks for visiting.
Deletesoft eggs i cannot do. i have to have them rock hard or not at all. mostly not at all for me. now, the bread and butter? i'm all over that. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I couldn't bare eat them hard :)
DeleteI prefer my eggs hard boiled... :) I don't really have anything that I "have to" have on weekends. But having been on a diet for a while, I try to avoid "sweets" (cake, icecream, chocolate, whatever) during the week but might allow myself a little something on the weekend.
ReplyDeleteYes I know what you mean. Thanks for visiting.
Deletenice shot and good breakfast
ReplyDelete:-)
Ciao
Stefano
Thank you Stefano.
DeleteI'm with Tex on the soft egg thing. Runny yolks are not my thing. But that homemade bread looks wonderful. And everything is beautifully photographed, even the soft yolk. :)
ReplyDeleteMy mom makes this bread. With lots of seeds and whole grain flour.
DeleteIt does look good! I haven't had a soft boiled egg in years. If I cook eggs it's usually in an omelette. Enjoy your eggs tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteOmelette I like too!
DeleteI think I too would enjoy such a breakfast on sundaymornings. nice photos with good depth of field.
ReplyDeletehugs, Hilde

Thanks Hilde!
DeleteThe eggs and break sounds yummy! Have a happy weekend and enjoy your breakfast!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting. Have a great weekend too.
DeleteDefinitely go for it! My husband likes eggs this way too, but I am not a fan of gooey foods, so I cook mine longer.
ReplyDeleteWell this way they are not gooey, just creamy yolks. Everything else comes out hard.
DeleteI'll make a deal with you...you have your soft boiled eggs and I'll have mine scrambled and we'll both enjoy the bread and butter.....I love those pink dotted egg cups...
ReplyDeleteThat's a deal. I like these cups too.
DeleteVery colorful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Randy,
DeleteThis looks and sounds so good, Mersad! Beautiful presentation and photos.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda.
DeleteI like eggs too - haven't had a soft-boiled egg in years, though.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's time to try them again. :)
DeleteGuten Morgen...
ReplyDeleteja, dass sieht nach einem perfekten Frühstück aus ... Ist ja einfach .....Ach egal, ich geh jetzt frühstücken ;)
Ich wünsche Dir einen tollen Sonntag...
Ganz liebe Grüße
Dir auch Timur!
Deletethese are fantastic shots! i also love the blurry background!
ReplyDeletewell done:)
happy sunday!
Thank you Betty.
DeleteThat's how I like my eggs but they rarely turn out as I like them. I think it's the degree of freshness that counts. The eggs we buy always seem to be a little on the old side, hence we never know how exactly long to cook them.
ReplyDeleteI think the most important thing is that the eggs are at room temperature before you boil them!
DeleteThe egg and the relaxed eating of it I can understand and enjoy. The colour of the egg-cup first thing in a morning would be a bit too much for me though.
ReplyDeleteWell it is the weekend. A little cheer in the morning is not a bad thing.
DeleteI really enjoyed this post Mersad. It's the little things...
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy. I agree!
