Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook the Eggs: Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add a splash of white vinegar, then lower in the eggs. Cook for 7 minutes.
  2. Ice Bath: Transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water for about 5 minutes to halt the cooking process.
  3. Peel the Eggs: Tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell and peel from the wider end.
  4. Toast the Bread: Slice artisan bread into ½-inch pieces and toast until golden brown and crisp.
  5. Prepare the Spread: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise and fresh lemon juice to create a zesty spread. Slather on each slice of toasted bread.
  6. Assemble the Eggs: Halve each soft-boiled egg and smash them onto the prepared toast, allowing the yolk to cascade over the mayo.
  7. Finish with Toppings: Sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper, fresh herbs, and optional toppings like microgreens or smoked seafood. Serve immediately.
