Egg Flight Toast (Printable)

A slice of toasted bread topped with three styles of eggs for varied flavors and textures.

# What You'll Need:

→ Bread

01 - 1 large slice sourdough or country-style bread

→ Eggs

02 - 1 large egg, scrambled
03 - 1 large egg, soft-boiled
04 - 1 large egg, fried

→ For Cooking

05 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
06 - 1 teaspoon olive oil
07 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Garnishes (optional)

08 - Chopped fresh chives
09 - Chili flakes
10 - Microgreens

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Place the bread slice on a baking sheet and toast for 5–7 minutes until golden and crisp. Set aside.
02 - Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Gently lower one egg into the water and cook for 6½ minutes. Transfer to ice water, peel, and halve.
03 - Heat ½ tablespoon butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Whisk one egg with salt and pepper, pour into skillet, and stir gently until just set and creamy. Remove from heat.
04 - In the same skillet, wipe clean, then add ½ tablespoon butter and 1 teaspoon olive oil over medium heat. Crack in the third egg and cook until whites are set and yolk remains runny, about 2–3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
05 - Place the toasted bread on a plate. Arrange the scrambled egg on one third, the halved soft-boiled egg on the second third, and the fried egg on the last third.
06 - Optionally sprinkle chopped chives, chili flakes, and microgreens on top. Serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You get creamy, buttery, and runny all at once—every single bite surprises you.
  • It looks fancy enough to impress someone but takes less time than a shower.
  • Once you nail this, you've basically mastered three core egg techniques at once.
02 -
  • Timing the soft-boiled egg is non-negotiable—even 30 seconds off and you'll lose that perfect jammy center.
  • Don't skip the ice bath for the soft-boiled egg; it stops the cooking instantly and makes peeling so much easier.
  • Keep your pan heat at medium or lower for the scrambled eggs, or they'll turn into rubbery curds instead of creamy clouds.
03 -
  • Have everything prepped and your plate ready before you start cooking; eggs wait for no one.
  • If you're nervous about timing, cook the soft-boiled egg first, then work on the scrambled and fried while it cools in ice water.
