1. Begin by soft-boiling the egg: Fill a small saucepan with water and bring it to a boil. Gently lower the egg into the water and cook for 6 minutes. Once done, transfer the egg to a bowl of ice water to cool for 1 minute before peeling.
2. While the egg is cooking, lightly toast the slices of whole-grain bread to your preferred level of crispness.
3. Prepare the tomato topping: Slice the tomato into thin rounds. Arrange them on top of the toasted bread slices.
4. Drizzle the extra virgin olive oil evenly over the tomatoes, then sprinkle with salt and ground black pepper to taste.
5. Peel the soft-boiled egg and slice it in half. Place it on the side of the plate alongside the tomato-topped toast.
6. In a small bowl, serve the Greek yogurt. Drizzle it with honey and sprinkle the chopped walnuts on top.
7. Assemble everything on a plate, and enjoy your healthy Portuguese breakfast!
