Soldiers – The Perfect Soft Boiled Egg

Soldiers – The Perfect Soft Boiled Egg

Ingredients
Free range eggs
Bread – toasted and cut lengthways into 3-4 fingers

Directions
In a small saucepan bring water to the boil then turn right down to the lowest heat until just simmering. Lower each egg gently into the simmering water using a spoon and leave for 2- 4 minutes until desired consistency is reached.

Really soft runny eggs – leave for 2 minutes
White just set and yolk that is creamy – leave for 3 minutes
White and yolk perfectly set with yolk that is creamy – leave for 4 minutes

Be careful to watch the clock, so as not to overcook the eggs. Remove the eggs with a slotted spoon and transfer to egg cups. Slice off tops and serve with freshly toasted bread (soldiers).

Why not try vegemite on your toast for a change (soldiers in uniform).
