Ingredients

2 large Eggs
2 Bread slices
1 tablespoon Butter
1 teaspoon Vegemite

Directions

Step 1

Fill a small saucepan with water and bring it to a boil over medium heat.

Step 2

Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water using a spoon. Cook for 5 minutes for soft-boiled eggs.

Step 3

While the eggs are cooking, toast the bread slices until golden brown.

Step 4

Spread the butter evenly over the toasted bread slices while they are still warm.

Step 5

Spread a thin layer of Vegemite on top of the buttered toast (adjust to taste).

Step 6

Cut each slice of toast into thin strips, approximately 1 inch wide, to create 'soldiers' for dipping.

Step 7

After the eggs have cooked, transfer them to a bowl of cold water for 30 seconds to stop the cooking process.

Step 8

Place the eggs in egg cups. Tap the top of each egg gently with a spoon to crack it, then peel off the top shell to expose the yolk.

Step 9

Serve immediately with the Vegemite soldiers for dipping.
