Eggy Soldiers

My daughter woke from a restless night, hungry. Still recovering from the flu, much care must be given to what she eats.  Lacking in energy, and probably bored from a week spent on her Mama’s lap, I was wondering what I could make that would engage her appetite and interest. Eggy Soldiers! This is another quick and easy meal for anyone that is feeling under the weather.

Eggy Soldiers

1. Eggs, one or two per person
2. A good toasting bread
3. Butter
4. Salt
5. Eggcups

• In a saucepan, bring water to a boil.
• When water is boiling, drop in eggs.
• Boil for 3 minutes (yes, exactly, this is a science!)
• When ready, remove from heat and run eggs under cool water.
• Toast bread, butter, and slice into long strips (soldiers)
• Place egg in eggcup and remove top half of shell.
• With a spoon, remove egg tip and commence dipping!
• Salt as you like.

This is a meal that children really like both for the simplicity of taste and for the fun of marching soldiers into a pool of delicious yellow yolk. Enjoy.
