Make Boiled Egg and Soldiers

Eggs and soldiers is a great British snack in which the white part of the egg is boiled, while the yolk is left gooey and runny. It is traditionally served with pieces of toast as the toast is perfect for dipping into the delicious yolk.

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • Slices of bread
  • 15 grams of butter

Steps

  1. Cook the egg. Use the large spoon to lower the egg into the water. Allow the water to boil. When the water has boiled, leave the egg for another 3 minutes. Set a timer to make sure you don't overcook the egg.
  2. Toast the bread. Once the bread has been toasted, spread some butter on the slices. Cut the toast into strips about one to two centimetres in width.
  3. Remove the egg. Using a large spoon, carefully remove the egg from the water, and place it in an eggcup. Immediately cut off the top of the egg with a knife.
  4. Eat. Dip the toasted soldiers into the egg yolk and enjoy!
  5. Finished.
