Do you ever eat soft boiled eggs? I first ate them at my grandmother-in-law's Wisconsin home, where I was also introduced to the particular, delightfully dainty hardware of egg cup and tiny egg spoon.
Soft boiled eggs are rustic and elegant, easy to prepare. Perfect for a leisurely weekend meal.
eggs
water
To make the soft boiled eggs, bring a pot of water to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. With a slotted spoon, carefully drop the egg/s into the water and cook for 3-6 minutes. I found 6 minutes worked well for eggs cold from the refrigerator. If your eggs are room temperature, or if you like your yolks especially runny, 3-5 minutes should do.
When you're ready to eat. Cut the top of the egg off (I'm not so good at this). Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and eat directly from the shell with the smallest spoon you've got.
The (vegan) potatoes in this picture were another easy fix. They take a little time, but barely any work.
1 russet potato
grapeseed or olive oil
salt+pepper
Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Chop the potato into 1/3 inch cubes. Spread these pieces in a single layer in the bottom of a roasting pan. Drizzle with oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
Roast for 20-30 minutes, tossing once or twice, until crispy.
