These came out wonderful! This was the first time I have added butter to the eggs or toasted the bread soldiers. Made for virtual culinary cruise 2009.

    A lovely lunch treat. Simple, fast and yummy. Reminds me, too, of having it as a child. Why did we stop?? I did double the toast and used 9-grain bread because I simply don't ever have white bread anymore. My cutting-off-the-top-of-the-egg skills definitely need work!

    These were very good! A little heavy on the butter for my tastes, but an overall tasty recipe. It is often some feat to time soft-boiled eggs properly, and this recipe had the timing nailed down to a science. My eggs turned out perfectly soft to the minute. This recipe also brought back childhood memories for me - my mother prepared these often for me and my sisters.

    Fun. I don't have egg cups, so eventually I just put the egg over crumbled buttered toast. I hadn't had soft-boiled eggs in years. My mother used to make them for me when I was ill, which made me not want them the rest of the time, but lately I like them again.
