Preparation method
If you manage or don't forget, take the eggs out of the fridge and onto the kitchen counter half an hour beforehand.
In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil for cooking the eggs. There should be enough water so that the eggs are just submerged when you add them. Lightly salt the water. Although this doesn't affect the taste of the eggs, it definitely affects the softness of the water and protects the bottom of the saucepan.
Using a spoon, lower the eggs into the boiling water and immediately start a timer. Then, slightly reduce the heat of the hob, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer gently, covered, for exactly five minutes. If you didn't manage to take the eggs out of the fridge in time and cooked them cold, add one extra minute.
Chef's tip
A great, popular variation of eggs in a glass involves a little grated Parmesan cheese, sprinkled on top of the eggs. You can further experiment with your favorite herbs. Or first place a few pieces of smoked salmon in the glass and finally garnish with caviar. You can also drizzle them with a few drops of truffle oil. A few thin slices of radish accompanied by watercress can also go into the glass. Or smoked trout and chopped cherry tomatoes. Or a little chopped ham and crumbled fresh cheese. And so on and so forth.
