Method

1
Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water and cook for 8 minutes.
2
Immediately transfer the eggs to cold water to stop the cooking process. Once cool enough to handle, peel or serve in their shells.
3
Lightly toast the sourdough if desired and serve with grass-fed butter and organic sugar-free jam.
4
Arrange the eggs, cheese, cold cuts, sourdough, jam, and seasonal fruit together on a plate. Enjoy with a hot tea or coffee.

Debbie's note

Quality Matters

Choose true sourdough, made through traditional fermentation rather than conventional leavened bread with a small amount of sourdough culture added.

For cold cuts, prioritize high-quality options with simple ingredient lists. Traditional Italian brands often provide excellent choices such as prosciutto, bresaola, or quality salami.

Raw or unpasteurized cheese can retain more of the naturally occurring enzymes and microbial diversity present in the original milk, while also providing protein, calcium, and fat-soluble nutrients. Choose properly produced cheese from a reputable source.

Organic sugar-free jam is essentially stewed fruit. Fruit naturally provides fibre, pectin, and polyphenols that can support a healthy gut microbiome while offering a simple way to add sweetness.

Finish the plate with seasonal fruit for freshness, fibre, micronutrients, and natural variety throughout the year.
