Soft-Boiled Egg over Vegetable Saute and Toast
I’ve been on a soft-boiled egg kick recently and made this soft-boiled egg over vegetable saute and toast recipe for lunch, and loved it. Â I enjoyed the combination of eggs, tomatoes, and asparagus, and I love caramelized onions with everything, so this recipe made me very happy. The flavors and textures were terrific, and it paired nicely with some twisted bacon and crispy hash browns.
Soft-Boiled Egg over Vegetable Saute and Toast
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp butter or olive oil
- ½ small yellow onion, sliced
- 4 spears of asparagus, woody ends removed and cut into thirds
- A handful of grape tomatoes
- 1Â egg
- 1 piece of bread, toasted
How to Make a Soft-Boiled Egg over Vegetable Saute and Toast
Heat the butter or olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until softened. Add the asparagus and tomatoes, then cook, stirring often, for 5-6 minutes. Season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste.
While the veggies are cooking, prepare your soft-boiled egg by heating an inch of water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until boiling.
Add the egg, reduce the heat to medium, and cover with a lid. Let the egg cook for 6 minutes, then remove it from the stove. Side Note: If you are using a jumbo-sized egg, cook for 6 minutes & 30 seconds.
Place the toast into the toaster.
Run the saucepan and egg under cold water until the egg is cool enough to be handled.
Using a knife, tap the top edge of the egg to crack it, then gently peel, being careful not to puncture the egg.
Place the toast on the plate and spoon the veggie mixture over the toast.
Add the peeled egg and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper to taste. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

That is a fantastic brunch, Pam. I tried cooking a dozen “boiled” eggs in the sous vide machine last week and they all ended up in the trash. I’ll stick with the stove top, lol.
I could eat anything and everything with a soft boiled egg!
