Soft Boiled Eggs with Soldiers
by Ruth McCarthy
Soft-cooked eggs are clasically served in a small egg cup with toast cut into strips or soldiers for dipping into luscious yolk.
Ingredients
2
eggs
1
slice of toast
Preparation
Step 1
To soft-cook eggs, bring a deep saucepan filled halfway with water to a rolling boil. With a slotted spoon, gently lower eggs into water. Cover pan and remove from heat. Let stand 4 - 6 minutes (depending on how soft you like the yolks).
Step 2
To serve eggs in their shells, quickly crack the wider end with a knife and remove the top. To serve out of the shell, hold egg over a small bowl, tap around the center with a knife, and gently pull shell apart, then scoop out egg with a spoon into the bowl.
