Jammy eggs live right at that sweet spot between hard-boiled and soft-boiled, and naturally, they're the heroes of this dish. Living up to their name, they absorb the fennel-spiced toasted breadcrumbs like tiny flavor magnets, and when you take a fork to them, they marry with the perfectly crisp roasted Brussels sprouts like jam to toast.
To make the brussels sprouts
- Heat your oven to 425F. Trim the ends off the Brussels sprouts and slice in half. Place on a sheet tray and toss with the minced garlic, olive oil, and salt. Place in the oven and roast until tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
To make the toppings:
- While the Brussels sprouts are roasting, heat a small pan over medium heat. Add olive oil, followed by fennel seeds. Toast the seeds for a minute or two, just until fragrant. Stir in the breadcrumbs and continue to cook until the breadcrumbs are golden. Turn off the heat and stir in lemon zest.
- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add in eggs and keep at a low boil. Cook the eggs for exactly 6 1/2 minutes. Transfer the eggs directly to a bowl filled with ice water and let rest until the Brussels sprouts are tender.
- Transfer Brussels sprouts to a serving tray and toss with half the breadcrumbs. Crack, peel, and then slice eggs in half. Nestle egg halves into Brussels sprouts and top with more breadcrumbs before serving.
