Eggs and soldiers is a British term, I know a lot of people outside the UK haven’t heard of the term and it baffles me because it’s just a way of life for me! it’s basically a hard boiled egg recipe with bread to dip into when it’s done and cracked open.

I love eggs as they’re rather healthy and low in calories. Healthy boiled egg recipes are hard to come by but boiled egg recipes for breakfast are even harder, that being said I don’t see why this can’t be an egg breakfast recipe as well.
Egg Cups – As I said you’re going to need some nice little egg cups. Make sure they sparkle when you eat your hard boiled eggs and enjoy them! It’s all about the show.
Egg Timer – This is the most important thing you’ll need. When it gets hot it boils like an egg. It’ll show you how your egg is so if you like it runny or hard it’ll do it the way you want!
