Ingredients
1-2 eggs per person
1-2 slices bread – for toast
butter or spread
Directions
- Put egg(s) in a saucepan and cover with cold water, place on the element and heat until the water starts to boil. Turn the element off. Leave the pot on the stove.
- Set the timer to cook just the way you like them; As a guide, 3 – 4 minutes for runny eggs, 5 – 6 minutes for soft eggs, and 8 – 9 minutes for hard boiled eggs.
- Toast the bread slices. Spread butter or margarine, and cut into thin strips to make the ‘soldiers’.(approx 4-5 per slice)
- Serve in egg cups with toasted soldiers.
Notes
- When feeding babies eggs, because their immune systems are still developing in their early years it is safer to serve eggs that are properly cooked right through.
