Soldier Solution
A classic, fun, and simple breakfast for all ages – even grown-ups!
INGREDIENTS
For each tummy, you’ll need:
• An egg, soft boiled
• 1 slice of bread, toasted and buttered (or not, if you prefer)
• A light dash of salt
To soft boil eggs, the easiest way is to place them in a pot of cold water (just enough to cover your eggs) and then bring the water to a boil.
Once boiling, watch the time carefully and remove the pot from the heat after 1 and ½ to two minutes. Take the pot, eggs and all and put it in your sink under cool running water to halt the cooking and cool them enough to eat.
Place each egg into an egg cup and tap the very top with a spoon, to “decapitate” the egg and make room for soldiers and then spoons for what the soldiers leave behind.
Cut toast into thin strips (soldiers, I was told when I was 2) and serve alongside the egg for dunking.
TIPS:
- Tiny teaspoons are best to scoop out what the soldiers leave behind.
- To center an egg yolk, roll each egg back and forth a few times when you first drop it in the water, prior to cooking.
