Vegemite Soldiers with Free Range versus Cage Eggs
Do I really need to provide a recipe for this breakfast ? Perhaps just for the sake of those unsure about how to make a soft boiled egg (as opposed to a hard boiled one).
-
2 eggs
-
2 slices of toast
-
butter and Vegemite (or salty spread of your choice, let's not debate it)
Step 1 - Put a small saucepan of water onto the boil. When boiling, gently lower an egg on a spoon into the water. Pop an unstruck matchstick into the water (if the shell breaks it will stop the egg from swirling about too much in the water). Set the timer for 5 minutes if the egg was in the fridge or 3.5 minutes if it is at room temperature.
Step 2 - Meanwhile heat the grill and toast bread and then when done on both sides, spread with a lot of butter and as much Vegemite as you wish. Cut into 3 or 4 vertically.
Step 3 - Run the boiled egg under some cold water for about 10 seconds.The carefully using a sharp heavy knife, slice off the top. Dip each toast stick into the yolk.
