Eggs With Soldiers Food

EGGS AND SOLDIERS

Steps:

• Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with 1 inch cold water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, uncovered. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 2 minutes.
• Spread butter over bread and cut into sticks. Slice tops off the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Serve with bread sticks for dipping.

EGG & SOLDIERS

Steps:

• Cut the soft-boiled egg in half and serve with the steamed asparagus for dipping.

SOFT-BOILED EGGS WITH ASPARAGUS SOLDIERS

Steps:

• Cut the woody ends off the asparagus, and cook in a shallow saucepan of boiling water until tender but still has some bite - about 5 minutes. Then drain them and keep them warm while you cook the eggs.
• In a saucepan, bring some water to the boil into which you have dropped a matchstick; according to my Aunt Frieda this stops the white from billowing out into the pan should the egg crack while cooking. Am I going to promise this works? Well, all families have their folklore.
• Lower the eggs into the water and cook them at a steady boil for about 4 minutes. Take them out of the water and immediately slice the top of each one; the yolk should still be runny enough to dip the asparagus spears in.
• Make sure that there's salt on the table for sprinkling into the almost aggressive blandness of the egg and spear, as you eat, with the warm asparagus.

• make sure you dip the soldiers in the runny egg.
• kids will love it.

SOFT BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Fill a medium sized saucepan with water and bring to a rolling boil.
• Make sure your eggs aren't fridge cold. By having the eggs at room temperature, it will be less of a shock for the egg reaching the hot water and therefore less likely to crack. You can also use an egg pricker to make a very small hole in each egg before boiling, which will also reduce the chances of it cracking in the heat. Slowly lower the eggs into the water using a spoon.
• Set your timer for 4-5 mins for runny/dippy eggs to serve with soldiers, or 6-7 mins for soft-boiled eggs for a salad. If serving in a salad, plunge the eggs into a bowl of cold water as soon as the timer goes off - this will stop them cooking and cool the shells quickly for peeling.

DIPPY EGGS WITH MARMITE SOLDIERS

Steps:

• Bring a pan of water to a simmer. Add 2 eggs, simmer for 2 mins if room temp, 3 mins if fridge-cold, then turn off heat. Cover the pan and leave for 2 mins more.
• Meanwhile, toast 4 slices wholemeal bread and spread thinly with butter, then Marmite. To serve, cut into soldiers and dip into the egg, then a few mixed seeds.
