Perfect boiled egg
What a true gem of a breakfast a really good egg is when soft boiled to perfection and accompanied by buttered toast. Making the perfect soft boiled egg can be a bit hit and miss so here is a failsafe method.

Cook:6min ›
Ready in:8min
- 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.
- Repeat as necessary
- Simmer gently for 1 minute
- Take off heat and cover, leave for 5 mins (medium eggs) or 6 (large eggs)
- 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.
