I have always been a huge fan of soft boiled eggs especially the runny egg yolks because let’s face it, it’s the best part! Soft boiled eggs for breakfast is one of my favorite things to eat. Luckily for me, at least one of my kids share in the same enjoyment as me. Unfortunately, the other despises eggs in their natural form and refuses to eat them whether I cook them sunny side up, boiled, soft boiled, poached or scrambled. I am still waiting for the day when she will grow out of this and start to like them.


Sometimes, as a special treat, I will make anchovy butter toast soldiers to have with the soft boiled eggs. And, boy, are they ever good with that extra hit of umami from the anchovies. They are indeed a special treat as I don’t often have butter slathered on toast so I savor every bite! Please do give this a try as it is incredibly delicious.
