The beauty of this recipe is that it replicates the perfect egg yolk without the white. The egg whites were never my favourite part but the yolk I loved, so I would save to the side an egg dipped soldier, covered in gooey yolk to be savoured after I had finished the white, so that my final taste was perfect. The oozy runny yolk that deliciously coats the bread was just the most wonderful treat. Whenever we think of our favourite childhood memories they are often those with our grandparents, and one of my absolute favourites is of my grandmother preparing me a boiled egg and light fluffy buttered bread cut into finger sized pieces we called soldiers to dip into a perfectly boiled egg. Delicious oozy runny yolk that is a perfect plant based treat for children and adults alike. This vegan version of eggs and soldiers I am sure will bring back fond memories of your childhood.

Spread on the soldiers it complements perfectly with the rich and creamy egg yolk. I then mixed it with some ground mustard to give it some kick and fresh chives for just a hint of onion. Never leaving well enough alone, I’ve put a Japanese twist on this British classic by adding miso to the butter. The soldiers are generally served with a smattering of butter spread over top or even nothing at all.
When choosing your bread, pick whatever kind you like best for toast. USE A TIMER! It’s so easy to let an extra 30 seconds slip by, and when you’re making soft boiled eggs, 30 seconds can be the difference between perfectly runny yolks and one that is too firm for your liking.Cool down the eggs in a water bath immediately after you remove them from the hot water.Make sure you lower the boiling water to simmering before you add your eggs – a hard boil may cause your eggs to collide and crack.
#EGGY SOLDIERS HOW TO#
There are various schools of thought on how to make the perfect soft boiled egg, but I’ve found that if you follow a few easy steps you get a perfect egg every time: Quite often the simplest dishes are the best. The bread refers to the soldiers who went to rescue Humpty Dumpty when he had his “great fall.” Another belief for the origin of the name is from the childhood rhyme “Humpty Dumpty”.
The toast is sliced in this manner so that it can be dipped into the opening of a soft boiled egg that has had the top of its shell removed. If you’re not familiar with the term “soldier,” as it refers to breakfast, Wikipedia has defined it as:Ī British term that refers to a piece of toast cut into thin strips reminiscent of the formation of soldiers on parade. For me, it’s best enjoyed when you have a quiet morning, time to sip on a hot cup of joe, and read the newspaper (old school or digital). It is a fairly quick breakfast to make and consume, but this isn’t something you just shovel in your mouth and run out the door. There’s an almost meditative process to eating Dippy Eggs with Soldiers. It’s like a ritual – tapping a spoon all the way around the egg, removing the top, and dipping the first soldier into the middle and watching the yolk spill out over the sides. I don’t remember the first time I saw someone dipping strips of toasts into runny eggs, but I’ve always had the notion that this was a very special dish.
