Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic cloves
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 stalk green onions(optional)
  • to taste black pepper(optional)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil water in a pot, gently lower the eggs and simmer for 6 minutes for a soft‑centered yolk; then transfer to an ice bath for 1 minute and peel.

  2. 2

    While the eggs cool, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.

  3. 3

    Stir in the soy sauce and cook another 30 seconds, then remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Place the peeled eggs in the garlic‑butter sauce, turning to coat evenly; let sit for 1 minute to absorb flavor.

  5. 5

    Slice the eggs in half, drizzle any remaining sauce over them, and garnish with sliced green onions and a pinch of black pepper if desired.
