Soft boiled egg with soldiers

This is a childhood experience I hope you have all had.  Or, a simple joy you can now experience.  Put some water on to a gentle boil, and gently place your egg in for 5 minutes.  Toast some bakery bread, butter that baby up, and slice it up to make your soldiers.  Make tea.  When your egg is done, you tap it gently with a spoon and lift off the top.  Dip in your soldiers, enjoy.
