Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Eggs
- 2 slices Bread (white or wholemeal)
- 15 grams Butter
- 1 teaspoon Marmite
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Pepper
Instructions
Fill a small saucepan with water, making sure there is enough to completely submerge the eggs. Bring the water to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water using a spoon to avoid cracking. Set a timer for 6 minutes for soft-boiled eggs or 8 minutes for medium-set yolks.
While the eggs are boiling, place the slices of bread in a toaster and toast until golden brown.
Once toasted, spread butter evenly over the surface of each slice of bread while still warm.
Spread Marmite thinly over the buttered toast. Adjust the amount of Marmite to your taste, as its flavor is quite strong and salty.
Cut each slice of toast into 4 even strips to create the 'soldiers' for dipping.
When the timer goes off, remove the eggs from the boiling water using a slotted spoon and immediately place them in a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process.
After a minute, gently tap the eggs on a hard surface to crack the shell and carefully peel them. Alternatively, leave the eggs unpeeled if you prefer to dip directly into the shells.
Place the eggs in egg cups, slice off the tops with a knife, and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper if desired.
Serve the eggs with the Marmite soldiers for dipping. Enjoy your comforting British breakfast in bed!
