I wouldn't really call this a recipe, more a simple method to make a delicious breakfast! If you love dippy eggs and soldiers, then this dish is for you! Take your soldiers to the next level, by topping them with cheese and crispy bacon.
I used Schär Gluten Free White Ciabattas and used it as my Healthy Extra B, topped with 40g of extra light cheese as a Healthy Extra A.
For the bacon bits, I just fried off some bacon medallions and then cut them up into small chunks to put on top of the soldiers.
How long to boil the eggs for?
I used to struggle with boiling eggs, always getting the timings wrong and ending up with either a raw egg, or overcooked egg. So here is the ultimate egg boiling times:
Soft Boiled Eggs
6-7 minutes
Hard Boiled Eggs
12-14 minutes
The softer the egg, the better it is for dipping! I got these lovely egg cups for Christmas this year, and love making the most out of them.
You could use any kind of bread you wanted for this recipe, like a healthier wholemeal bread.
