I instantly wrote the idea down on my to-make list. But, I was recently watching the new season of Masterchef Australia and saw one of the contestants make a soft boiled egg covered in spices. I always make the egg simply topped with some salt and pepper. The egg adds something to really chew on and the yolk provides an amazing sauce-like addition. Side Note: If you don’t have the soft egg dish, you can peel the egg completely (carefully) and serve it in a ramekin.When I have a half-meal (think: a hearty salad, a nice soup, or a simple noodle dish) a soft boiled egg on top usually makes it feel more complete.

Place the egg in the soft egg dish and serve with the buttery toast soldiers and the egg top. Using a butter knife, crack the top edge of the egg then gently slice the top bit of the egg off. When the six minutes are up, run the saucepan and egg immediately under cold water until the egg is cool enough to be handled. While the egg is cooking, toast a piece of bread in a toaster then slather it with butter and cut it into thin sticks (aka soldiers). Side Note: if you are using a jumbo-sized egg, cook for 6 minutes & 30 seconds. Let the egg cook for 6 minutes then remove it from the stove. Add the egg, reduce the heat to medium, and cover with a lid. Heat an inch of water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until boiling. How to Make Soft Boiled Egg with Buttery Toast “Soldiers”
