Tips
- Use good-quality, thick-sliced country bread; it's also worth choosing good butter and honey, because with so few ingredients every one counts.
- A soft-boiled egg takes 6 minutes, a medium one 8 and a hard one 10 minutes at a simmer; cooling them in iced water makes them easier to peel.
- A pinch of cinnamon or a little lemon zest goes nicely with the honey bread.
Frequently asked questions
Is it a good breakfast for children?
Yes, it's filling and made of just a few things; just don't give honey to children under one year old.
What can I use instead of honey?
Jam, a mix of tahini and honey, or roasted figs all work well.
