Step by step
0 / 4Here’s how.
An easier way today.
Serve bread untoasted and set the table while the eggs cook.
What you can prepare ahead
Slice and wrap bread the night before. Crack and cook eggs just before the meal.
Got interrupted? Tick off each step as you finish, so you can find your place again here.
When there is room for it today
Helping is welcome. Watching is too.
Wash tomatoes and place bread on plates. An adult handles eggs, pan and knife.

These notes refer to the ingredients in the base recipe. The amount on the plate depends on preparation, portion size and swaps. Variety across the week makes the difference.
Make it work for you.
Use tender steamed courgette cubes instead of raw tomatoes, allowing about 5 extra minutes.
Taking it slowly today?
Eggs, bread and tomatoes do not have to touch. Offer chives separately.
Keeping it safely
Best eaten fresh. Cool untouched cooked egg promptly and refrigerate at 5°C or below within 2 hours. Within 24 hours, reheat once to at least 70°C for 2 minutes. Store bread and tomatoes separately.
