Step 1
Bring a small pot of water to a rolling boil, then gently lower in the 2 eggs with a spoon. Boil for exactly 6 minutes for a soft, jammy yolk.
Step 2
While the eggs cook, toast the 2 bread slices until golden and spread with the 1 tbsp butter. Slice the 0.5 cucumber into thin rounds.
Step 3
When the eggs are done, drain and run them under cold water for 30 seconds to stop cooking. Peel carefully and place on the toast.
Step 4
Season the eggs with the 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp black pepper, then serve with the cucumber slices on the side.
Step 5
Cut the toast and eggs in half if desired, and enjoy while warm.
