Instructions

1
Bring a pot of water to a boil.
2
Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water and cook for exactly 5 minutes for a perfectly runny yolk.
3
Once the timer is up, immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
4
While the eggs cook, generously butter the slices of bread.
5
Toast the buttered bread until golden and crispy.
6
Cut the toasted bread into long strips to create the 'soldiers'.
7
Place the cooked eggs in egg cups. Use an egg cracker tool or a knife to carefully remove the top of each egg shell.
8
Season the exposed egg yolks with salt and pepper.
9
Serve immediately, dipping the toast soldiers into the runny egg yolks.
