There is a reason Germans have elevated the soft-boiled egg to an art form — timing is everything, and the payoff is a molten golden yolk that spills luxuriously onto buttery toast. Using keto-friendly almond bread soldiers slathered with a sharp mustard-butter makes this a breakfast that manages to feel both nostalgic and nutritionally sophisticated: simple, precise, and profoundly satisfying.
