Soft Boiled Egg with Soldiers

Ingredients

1 egg
1 slice brown bread
butter
salt
egg cup

Directions

Take the egg directly from the fridge and place in a saucepan. Cover with cold water over medium high heat. Just as the inside of the pan is filled with air bubbles and the water is just preparing to boil, turn the timer on for 5 minutes. When the water starts boiling furiously, turn the heat down to medium. Make the toast, spread with butter and halve and quarter the toast (these are the soldiers). The egg should be perfect after 5 minutes, firm white but runny yolk. Most enjoyable dipping the soldier toast sections into the yolk. I like to have a little salt on the side of my plate, but this is optional.

My cousin, Marie Claire, says she loves this but with a little marmite on the toast.
