Just had boiled eggs for brekky. Yep, with soldiers too.
Even in lockdown they make me think that things are normal-ish. Especially in lockdown when things aren't.
Alas I over-boiled my eggs. They were hard. All hard.
Six and a half minutes is our rule for boiling. A good rolling boil and then the eggs in.
I did use eggs from two different boxes. Whether that affects the boilability I don't know.
Anyways, with those buttery soldiers in hand but giving up on dipping, I still enjoyed them and it reminded me completely that I'm not at work, it's mid-morning and I ain't got to go anywhere at all!
Now its time for coffee and then wrap my latest Ebay toy sale, a bucket of miniatures, which I certainly won't be retiring from!
How do you like your eggs in the morning?
We have a cracking gadget bought at Lidl. It can cook up to sex eggs to perfect soft yolks every time, no error! It was £7, absolute bargain.
ReplyDeleteSounds great Bill. I assume you meant six! ha ha
DeleteUmmm! Yes! That was a combination of dislexia and an impractical mobile keyboard!
DeleteI scramble mine in salted butter, gently folding them on a low heat and taking them out of the pan a little early to keep them moist. I then slide them onto buttered toast and grind cracked black pepper onto them. Serve with sweet black coffee.
ReplyDeleteDelicious !

Thats just won the best snack recipe of the week Mish previously held by Nigell's double buttered toast! Sounds delish Mish!
DeleteNigell's? Nigella's! doh!
DeleteFried egg sandwiches, aka egg banjoes. Yummilicious. Or for a big breakfast I makes a cross between an omlette and fritata.
ReplyDeleteFry cut up bacon, chipolata,mushroom and tomato. Add 2 whisked eggs and fry till bottom set. Put under grill till top nearly set and put nice strong cheddar slices on top. Back under grill till cheese is bubbling away. I usually then split it across 2 slices of buttered toast, add some HP, put another slice of toast on top of each to make sarnies. Scoff, snarfle, nomnomnom.
Sounds totally scrumptious Timmy! What a butty!
