The quantities follow this count.

4 soft-boiled eggs
4 crusty bread rolls (Broetchen)
2 tbsp butter
1/2 tsp salt

How to cook it

Bring a small pot of water to a gentle boil, lower the eggs in on a spoon, and cook for exactly 6 minutes for a set white and a still-runny yolk.
While the eggs cook, split and lightly toast the bread rolls, then spread them with the butter.
Lift the eggs out with a slotted spoon and set each one in an egg cup, tapping the top lightly with a spoon to crack it, or simply serve in small bowls.
Set the buttered rolls alongside, put out the salt, and let everyone spoon their own egg straight from the shell; the German weekend breakfast the whole household sits down to.
