🌞 Good morning 🌞 gentle friends!
Let’s get this day started…

🍳 EGGY AVOCADO TOAST
@saraleebread Artisano Potato Bread (yummy)
@lovemyphilly Philadelphia Cream Cheese
@priano @aldiusa Alla Genovese Pesto
@krogerco Avocado
@misfitsmarket Organic Roma Tomato
@farmfresh (local farm) Duck Egg (yolk only)

🥚 PERFECT SOFT BOILED EGGS 🥚
In small saucepan, bring enough water to completely cover the eggs to a rolling boil. Reduce temperature to med and when the water is at a low simmer, gently add eggs. Avoid dropping them in the pot as they may crack.

Cook chicken eggs for 6 min (or duck eggs for 7 min) uncovered. I like to stir them every few minutes to prevent the yolk cooking more on one side.

Once cooked, drain out the boiling water and fill the pot with cold water. I personally don’t do an ice bath because I don’t want my eggs cold to eat.

Crack the eggs gently all the way around and put in the pot of cold water to allow water to get under the membrane. Leave eggs for 5 min, peel gently under running water and enjoy.

I cook them whole but remove the whites for histamine issues… The dogs love egg days!

If you aren’t familiar with my situation, basically I live with several autoimmune issues… an “inflammatory overstimulation response” brought on by my basic blood cells thinking they are Spartan Warriors and attacking everything in sight.

More information about what is wrong as well as the resources I’m using to track histamines and oxalates are here:
