Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 Bread slices
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 teaspoon Vegemite
Instructions
Fill a small saucepan with water and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water using a spoon. Cook for 5 minutes for soft-boiled eggs.
While the eggs are cooking, toast the bread slices until golden brown.
Spread the butter evenly over the toasted bread slices while they are still warm.
Spread a thin layer of Vegemite on top of the buttered toast (adjust to taste).
Cut each slice of toast into thin strips, approximately 1 inch wide, to create 'soldiers' for dipping.
After the eggs have cooked, transfer them to a bowl of cold water for 30 seconds to stop the cooking process.
Place the eggs in egg cups. Tap the top of each egg gently with a spoon to crack it, then peel off the top shell to expose the yolk.
Serve immediately with the Vegemite soldiers for dipping.
