ingredients

• 1 Egg
• 30g Light Soft Cheese
• 2 Slices of Smoked Salmon
• 1 Piece of Bread
• Fresh Berries or Red Grapes
• Pepper & Parsley to Taste

method

1. Fill a medium sized saucepan with water and bring to a rolling boil.
2. Try to make sure your egg isn’t fridge cold. By having the egg at room temperature, it will be less of a shock for the egg reaching the hot water and therefore less likely to crack. Slowly lower the egg into the water using a slatted spoon.
3. Set your timer for 5-6 mins for runny or 8-9 mins for hard-boiled eggs. When the timer goes off, put the egg into a bowl of cold water – this will stop it cooking and cool the shell quickly for peeling.
4. Whilst the egg is cooking, toast your bread.
5. Once toasted, spread the soft cheese and layer the smoked salmon on top.
6. Peel the boiled egg and place it on top of the salmon. Crack some black pepper and/or parsley on top to taste.
7. For an unusual finishing touch, add some fresh berries or red grapes to get an additional zing.
