Boiled egg with rye bread soldiers

Go to work on an egg, they say. We agree that a simple boiled egg makes a great filling breakfast. For a little more fibre make rye bread soldiers.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium eggs
  • 2 slices dark rye bread (pumpernickel)
  • 5g unsalted butter, for spreading

  4. Put the eggs in egg cups and place on small plates. Cut off the tops and season to taste. Serve with the soldiers for dipping.
