British Breakfast in Bed - Boiled Eggs and Marmite Soldiers
Ingredients
- 2 medium free-range eggs, at room temperature
- 2 slices bread
- butter
- marmite (optional)
- salt
Instructions
- Bring a small pan of water to the boil. Carefully lower in the eggs and simmer for 4 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave the eggs in the water for another 15 seconds before removing with a slotted spoon.
- Meanwhile, toast the bread, butter generously and spread thinly with marmite and slice into fat fingers.
- Place your eggs in an egg cup and provide a teaspoon and a knife.
- Cut the tops off the eggs and eat with the buttery marmite toast soldiers and a little salt.
- Cook’s note: if you use eggs at room temperature rather than straight from the fridge, they are less likely to crack in the boiling water.
