I love this classic singaporean breakfast. Half boiled Egg and butter toast / kaya (coconut jam) toast. You can find half boiled egg in almost anywhere in singapore just walk up to the hawker center and order away!
A lot people tried making their half boiled egg but fail miserably. Well I’m just discover the secrets to making it. The secret is no secret at all !
Ingredients for Half boiled egg:
-2 x Eggs (chicken of cos)
-water, boiling water.
-White soy sauce
or dark soy sauce depend on liking but i go for white soy sauce.
-white pepper powder
Ingredients for Butter toast:
-2 slice of bread
-butter spread
-sugar
Step 1:
Boil water. Make sure the water is sufficient and it will submerge the egg completely when the egg is put inside. Remove Egg from Refrigerator. You don’t want the eggs to crack in the boiling water so bring the egg out before hand.
step 2:
Monitor water till it’s boiling, usually takes about less than 5 min. Turn off the gas when its boiling hot. By now your egg shouldn’t be as cold. Drop 2 eggs, with shell of cos, into boiling water. Cover it with a lid.
Step 3:
Now the key timing is 4 min! I know most people love it watery so 3 min would be just nice. For me i like it slightly more cooked. So 4 – 5 min for me.
Step 3:
Mean while, toast the bread. 4 – 5 min depend on your toaster. Toast till slightly brown.
Now wait.
Step 4:
Remove Egg after 3-5 min. Be careful its hot. Put 2 eggs in to bowl. Now do the toast while the egg cools down.
Step5: Spread Toast with butter spread. Now the key to making it taste better, Sprinkle sugar on top of the butter toast. Amount depend on likings.
Step6:
Crack the egg in bowl. The Egg should look like Perfectly white with half cooked yolk and you can smell the aroma of the egg. Add soy sauce and pepper. Mix together. Serve.
So here you have it Half boiled Egg with butter toast.
