4 slice(s), (4 x 35g) toasted
Fresh chives
2 tsp, chopped
Oil spray
1 x 3 second spray(s)
Instructions
1
Bring a large saucepan of water to a simmer. Line a small bowl with a large sheet of plastic wrap, overhanging the sides. Lightly spray with oil. Break an egg into the plastic.
2
Gather ends of plastic to enclose egg, being sure to expel all the air. Twist firmly just above the egg, then tie securely. Repeat with remaining eggs.
3
Place plastic-wrapped eggs into pan, and simmer over low heat for 4½ minutes or until white has set but yolk is still soft. Lift out of pan onto a plate.

Use scissors to snip plastic between egg and knot. Carefully peel away plastic. Turn eggs onto toast and sprinkle with chives. Season.
