Ingredients
1 medium free-range egg 1 wholemeal bread slice Small piece of softened butter, for spreading
instructions
1.
Half-fill a small saucepan with water. Put on the hob over a medium heat and bring to the boil. Once boiling, gently lower the egg into the saucepan using a long-handled, slotted spoon. As soon as the water comes back to the boil, set the timer for 4 minutes. This will give you a lovely soft-boiled egg with a runny yolk, which is perfect for dipping your toast soldiers into. If you want the yolk to be slightly firmer, boil the egg for 5 minutes. If you want a hard-boiled egg with a firm yolk you will need to boil it for 7 minutes. When the egg is done, carefully lift it out of the pan with a slotted spoon. Put it into an egg cup. Pop the bread into the toaster and toast until golden brown. Put it on a chopping board and spread it with butter, then cut it into long strips to dip into the egg. Serve the egg with salt and pepper pots.

As the mornings get cooler and I need a comfort breakfast, there is nothing simpler nor finer than Egg + Soldiers. A childhood favorite and ti continues to be a morning treat for me and my boys! .
TIPS Make sure your eggs are at room temperature before boiling. If they’re been in the fridge, take them out 30 minutes before cooking them.
