Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Eggs with Toast Soldiers.
Step 1
Start by placing your eggs gently in a saucepan, then cover them with cold water, making sure the water level is about an inch above the eggs.
Step 2
Turn the heat to medium-high and bring the water to a lively boil—no need to cover the pan just yet.
Step 3
Once the water is bubbling away, take the saucepan off the heat and pop a lid on it.
Step 4
Let the eggs rest in the hot water for a cozy 2 minutes.
Step 5
While your eggs are enjoying their warm bath, grab a slice of bread and spread a generous layer of butter all over it.
Step 6
Cut the buttered bread into fun strips, often called 'soldiers,' perfect for dipping.
Step 7
After the 2 minutes are up, carefully slice off the tops of the eggs, revealing their golden yolks, and sprinkle a pinch of salt and a dash of ground black pepper on top for that extra flavor.
Step 8
Now, it’s time to serve! Place the eggs in charming egg cups alongside your buttered bread sticks, ready for a delightful dipping experience.
Step 9
Enjoy this simple yet satisfying treat that’s perfect for breakfast or a cozy brunch!.
