Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 large organic egg; 1 pinch Magic Spice Blend, recipe follows; 1 slice sourdough bread, toasted; Magic Spice Blend; 1/3 cup dark brown sugar; 3 tablespoons kosher salt; 3 tablespoons smoked paprika (you can use regular sweet paprika if you don't like the taste of smoked); 1 tablespoon garlic powder; 1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper; 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper; 1 teaspoon celery seed, crushed in the palm of your hand

Servings: persons

1 large organic egg
1 pinch Magic Spice Blend, recipe follows
1 slice sourdough bread, toasted
Magic Spice Blend
1/3 cup dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons kosher salt
3 tablespoons smoked paprika (you can use regular sweet paprika if you don't like the taste of smoked)
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon celery seed, crushed in the palm of your hand

1
Bring a small pot of water to a rolling boil. Then, with a spoon, carefully lower in the egg.
2
Put the timer on for 6 minutes exactly, lowering the heat to about medium-low so the water simmers gently. (Mostly I do this so the egg won't crack.)
3
At the 6-minute mark, run the egg under cold tap water to halt the cooking process before placing it into an egg cup (a shot glass works, too).
4
The eating of this egg is mostly ritualistic (and up to you): I take a sharp knife and chop off its top, scooping up the bit of white that's there. I sprinkle the spice mixture over the beheaded egg and dive my spoon into the yolk, which, if I've cooked it correctly, gushes out. I use the toast to sop up this spillage, and dig my spoon into and around the shell to get the rest of the white.
5
Spoon all of the ingredients into a Mason jar and shake. I like to keep this by my stove to sprinkle over everything: soft-boiled eggs, sliced cucumbers, chicken, pork chops, and especially ribs.
