6-Minute Soft-Boiled Egg With Magic Spice Blend
- 1 large organic egg
- 1 pinch Magic Spice Blend, recipe follows
- 1 slice sourdough bread, toasted
- Magic Spice Blend
- 1/3 cup dark brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons kosher salt
- 3 tablespoons smoked paprika (you can use regular sweet paprika if you don't like the taste of smoked)
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon celery seed, crushed in the palm of your hand
- Bring a small pot of water to a rolling boil. Then, with a spoon, carefully lower in the egg.
- Put the timer on for 6 minutes exactly, lowering the heat to about medium-low so the water simmers gently. (Mostly I do this so the egg won't crack.)
- At the 6-minute mark, run the egg under cold tap water to halt the cooking process before placing it into an egg cup (a shot glass works, too).
- The eating of this egg is mostly ritualistic (and up to you): I take a sharp knife and chop off its top, scooping up the bit of white that's there. I sprinkle the spice mixture over the beheaded egg and dive my spoon into the yolk, which, if I've cooked it correctly, gushes out. I use the toast to sop up this spillage, and dig my spoon into and around the shell to get the rest of the white.
- Spoon all of the ingredients into a Mason jar and shake. I like to keep this by my stove to sprinkle over everything: soft-boiled eggs, sliced cucumbers, chicken, pork chops, and especially ribs.
