Lovely lovely eggs

I bought these almost unbelievably beautiful eggs today at a local farm - smooth, brown, round and perfect. They are so lovely that it seems a shame to cook them.

I so love a brown egg, especially when cooked just the way I like it - not soft-boiled, not hard-boiled, but somewhere in between, with a sprinkling of salt, some thick, buttered toasty bread and a cup of steaming hot tea (or coffee if it's the weekend).
