What better way to start the morning than with Eleanor Smallwood's soft boiled eggs and buttery toast soldiers?
Tips and suggestions
- Cooks Tips...
- if you use eggs at room temperature rather than straight from the fridge, they are less likely to crack in the boiling water.
Method
1. Bring a small pan of water to the boil. Carefully lower in the eggs and simmer for 4 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave the eggs in the water for another 15 seconds before removing with a slotted spoon.2. Meanwhile, toast the bread, butter generously and slice into fat fingers.
3. Cut the tops off the eggs and eat with the buttery toast soldiers and a little salt.
