A gorgeous and nutritious breakfast of boiled eggs on toast with feta, tomatoes and dill. I often make this dish with low-carb bread but you can use regular sourdough, gluten-free or grain-free bread options.

Jammy Eggs On Toast With Feta & Tomatoes

If you’re sick of having the same old egg breakfast, try this fun dish of diced boiled egg on toast with feta, cherry tomatoes and dill.

You can make it with your preferred type of boiled eggs. I love it with jammy eggs.

Jammy eggs have firm whites and yolks that are still a little soft but not runny, almost sticky and spreadable. I love jammy eggs on toast as they hold their form like hard-boiled eggs when diced but the yolk’s texture isn’t grainy or chalky.

Having said that, you will enjoy this dish with poached eggs or hard-boiled eggs as it’s all about the flavour combination of savoury egg, salty feta and sweet tomatoes. I love a little dill on top but any fresh herbs of choice will work. If you don’t have fresh herbs on hand, a little dried thyme or oregano will add the right touch.

How To Make Jammy Eggs

There are a few methods for how to make perfect jammy eggs and this is the one that I use! 

Boil a pot of water and once bubbling away, carefully lower large cold eggs into it (mine are often in the fridge). Set the timer to 8 minutes. Keep the heat on high to bring the water back to simmering as quickly as possible. Once the timer is done, strain the eggs and plunge them into very cold water.

8 minutes will give you thick, spreadable yolk without any wobbly or runny whites. The time works for large eggs so if you’re using smaller eggs, reduce by a minute. If you like a slightly more runny centre, 7 minutes might work better for large eggs too. 

Jammy eggs are fabulous in dishes like Caesar salad, Nicoise salad,  kedgeree rice or ramen.
