Toast the bread.

While the bread is toasting, bring a small pot of water to a boil.

Once boiling, gently lower the egg into the water using a spoon.

Set a timer for 5 minutes — timing is key for a perfectly soft yolk.

When the timer goes off, immediately transfer the egg to cold water to stop the cooking.

Place the egg in an egg cup or holder (linked in post), crack the top with a spoon, and remove only the top portion of the shell.

Butter the toast and cut it into strips.

Dip your soldiers into the egg yolk and enjoy!
