toasted bread soldiers

There are some foods that are transformed by the simplest of things into something elegant and refined. For example, take a soft boiled egg and add to it toasted bread soldiers lightly buttered. Sprinkle a little salt, some pepper, dip your first toasted soldier, and I guarantee you'll be in foodie heaven.  Go on, try it.  There is really nothing quite like a soft boiled egg with lightly buttered toasted bread soldiers.  Oh, and the egg is best boiled for three minutes exactly but should be placed in the pot of cold water from the start.  (These instructions are for Large, Free Range Eggs and take no account of the risk from salmonella because there really isn't one. Raw eggs can certainly present a health risk from Salmonellosis, but so too can reptiles and especially pet turtles.  Both things best not eaten with your breakfast.)
