Ingredients
2 eggs
2 slices bread

Method:

• Wash hands.
• Put the eggs into a small saucepan and cover with cold water.
• Put the saucepan on the stove and bring the water to the boil, then reduce to simmer.
• Start the egg timer.  Simmer the eggs for 3 minutes for soft-boiled, 4 minutes for the white to be set and the yolk creamy or 5 minutes for the egg to be hard-boiled.
• Whilst the eggs are cooking, toast the bread.
• Butter the toast, remove the crusts and cut them into long fingers; these are called soldiers.
• Use a spoon to lift the eggs out of the water and put into egg cups.
• Use a teaspoon to tap the side of the egg to break the shell then use a knife to cut off the top.
• Serve the soldiers on the side of the plate.  They make delicious dippers.

SMARTY TIP: Ask an adult for help when boiling the eggs.
