Step 1
Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat, enough to cover the eggs by 1 inch.
Step 2
Gently lower eggs into the boiling water and start a timer for 6 minutes 30 seconds.
Step 3
While eggs cook, toast the bread until golden and spread with butter.
Step 4
When the timer goes off, transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water and let sit for 30 seconds.
Step 5
Gently tap and peel each egg, then place on a small plate with the yolk facing up.
Step 6
Sprinkle with salt and black pepper, then serve immediately alongside the buttered toast.
