This Sunday: Make Toast Soldiers, Examine Snowflakes

Your Sunday morning plan

EAT:

Ever been to Toronto’s Easy Restaurant? We’re suckers for their toast soldiers breakfast which includes two soft-boiled eggs, strips of toast, fresh fruit and a delightful surprise lurking somewhere on your plate: a toy soldier. We think this is a great breakfast or brunch to make at home.

A great soft-boiled egg has a runny yoke for dipping toast into, but a firm white. Food.com says you can achieve the perfect soft-boiled egg by pricking the wider end of the egg and submersing it into a pot of rapidly boiling, salted water. Boil for exactly five minutes. Extract your egg, run it under cold water and crack it open.

The stars of the breakfast are, of couse, the toast soldiers. While any bread will do, we say slice up your favourite hardy Italian bread. Once a slice has been toasted, cut into strips so as to easily dunk in the egg yoke.
