    **Ingredients**

    * 4 Large Eggs
    * 4 Slices Bread
    * 2 Tablespoons Butter, room temperature
    * Salt and Pepper, to taste
    * Fresh Herbs, such as dill, chives, or chervil (optional)

    **Directions**

    1. Bring a pot of water to a boil.
    2. Carefully add eggs to boiling water and boil for 4-5 minutes. (This is for soft-boiled eggs; add more time if you desire “harder” eggs.)
    3. Transfer boiled eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop from cooking.
    4. Meanwhile, toast the bread; spread with softened butter.
    5. Peel the eggs, being careful not to break them open.
    6. Top each buttered toast with one soft-boiled egg.
    7. Use a butter knife to break them up and “smash” them around the toast slice. The yolk should be fairly runny.
    8. Finish off the smashed toasts with a dash of salt and pepper, along with chopped fresh herbs, if desired. Enjoy!

    Put some marmite on that toast and you’re in food of the gods territory.
