Boiled Egg and Soldiers
A British breakfast classic — eggs boiled for exactly 6 minutes for a properly runny yolk, served with generously buttered toast strips cut for dipping.
Ingredients
Instructions
Boil the eggs for exactly 6 minutes, timing from when the water returns to a boil, for a yolk that is properly runny rather than half-set.
Toast the bread and cut it into strips while still hot.
Butter each strip generously so it melts straight in.
Serve the eggs in cups immediately with the toast soldiers alongside, ready for dipping while the yolk is still warm and runny.
