  • 1 egg
  • toast
  • salt & pepper
Method/steps
  1. Take a room temperature egg (organic only please), place it on a tablespoon and lower into gently simmering water - use a small pan with just enough water to cover the egg or eggs
  2. Repeat as necessary
  3. Simmer gently for 1 minute
  4. Take off heat and cover, leave for 5 mins (medium eggs) or 6 (large eggs)
  5. Serve in an egg cup with a side of hot buttered toast (I like a thin veil of Marmite on mine) - oh and yes cutting into soldiers isn't just acceptable but is actively encouraged
