This takes three minutes if you have boiled eggs in the fridge. If not, allow about 12 minutes for the egg to hard-boil.

Method

  1. If you need to, hard-boil the egg (about 12 minutes), then cool it in an ice bath so it peels more easily.
  2. Lightly toast the bread while the egg boils. Give it a second to breathe, then pour the olive oil over it so it reaches everywhere.
  3. Peel and slice the egg and cover the whole surface of the bread with the slices.
  4. Finish with a teeny-tiny pinch of salt on the egg.

Kitchen notes

Boil a few eggs at once and keep them in the fridge for up to a week. It makes this a three-minute snack any day.

The oil is the star here, and it’s used raw.

Early-harvest Koroneiki from a single grove in Messinia, Greece, measured at 635 mg/kg total polyphenols by HPLC (Modern Olives, July 2026). That peppery catch at the back of your throat is oleocanthal.
