Organic sourcing

Eggs are worth sourcing organic due to better farming practices and the benefits of pasture-raised conditions for hens.

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs
• to taste sea salt

Method

1. Fill a small pot with enough water to cover the eggs by about 1 inch.
2. Bring the water to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
3. Once boiling, gently lower the eggs into the water using a spoon.
4. Boil the eggs for exactly 6 minutes for a very soft center, or 7 minutes for a slightly firmer yolk.
5. Immediately remove the eggs from the pot and transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking.
6. Let the eggs cool for about 2 minutes, then gently peel under running water.
7. Serve the eggs halved or whole, sprinkled with sea salt to taste.

Notes

• Use a spoon to lower the eggs to prevent cracking.
• For easier peeling, use eggs that are a few days old.
• Serve with greens for a light, balanced meal.
