98. Soft-boiled eggs


When my girlfriend first moved in with me, she'd always get upset at how I cooked eggs. For me, eggs--whether they're fried or boiled or poached--require runny yolks. Not in salad, no. But when you're having them with toast and bacon. Gradually I won her over.

For me, runny egg yolks are one of life's simple pleasures. I could quite happily forget the whites and just egg runny yolk after runny yolk. With toast, of course, and much pepper.

And so, today's lunch: boiled eggs with toast 'soldiers' made from ciabatta.
