4. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and let them cool slightly before handling.
5. Peel the eggs carefully and pat them dry with a paper towel.
6. Dip each egg in the melted butter and then roll it in the herb breadcrumb mixture until completely coated.
7. Place the eggs on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 3-4 minutes until the crumbs are golden brown and crispy.
8. Serve the soft-boiled eggs in herb crumbs immediately with a sprinkle of extra chopped herbs and some crusty bread on the side.
