Step 1: You will need

  • 1 large egg
  • slices bread
  • 15 g butter
  • small saucepan
  • plate
  • large spoon with holes
  • egg cup
  • knife
  • teaspoon
  • timer

Step 2: Cook the egg

There are different ways of cooking soft boiled eggs, but this is the simplest. Use the large spoon to gently lower the egg into the cold water. Then bring the water to the boil. When the water boils, leave the egg for a further 3 minutes.

Step 3: Toasted Soldiers

But while the egg is cooking you can toast the bread.

When done, remove the toast and spread a little butter on one side. Then slice into strips about 2 centimetres wide, you should be able to get 4 strips from one slice of toast. Your soldiers are now ready for action.

Step 4: Remove the egg from the boil

As soon as the 3 minutes are up, place the boiled egg into an egg cup.

Slice off the top immediately with a knife - if you don't the egg will continue to cook, and the yolk will harden.

Step 5: Marshall your forces

Put the soldiers alongside, ready for dipping.

    This is a marvelous way of getting sick. I kid you NOT. Simon & Nellia for sure. This has to be a English thing.

    From room temperature of course, never store eggs in the fridge - they don't need it

    A dash of vinegar in the water will help firm up the white and also prevent it leaking out should the shell crack. Adding salt will raise the temperature of the boiling water so you may need to cook for a little less time. I always place my eggs into boiling water but still they seldom break and end up lovely and runny on the inside...

    This has got to be aimed at Americans surely? Who could possibly be daft enough not to know how to boil an egg, and make a round of toast? "a large spoon with holes in it" what an idiot!!!

    Brilliant, well done. Apprentices need to experiment to achieve their suitable and specific taste.

    If the egg cracks the salt seals it and stops it from all oozing out into the water.

    I think, the white stuff is salt...
