on a related note, my British aunt always cooked up “soldiers” for my cousins. simple really. soft boiled egg + toast cut into strips for dunking into the yolk.

We called it “eggie in a frame”. I actually own a cookie cutter that I purchased expressly for the purpose of cutting holes in the bread.

Hmm, I tried this for my son & I this weekend and I loved mine, but he only ate his buttery hat. Maybe it’s because I had to break & overcook his yolk since he’s only 15 mos.

Holy shoot! HFCS? In my bread? I’ll have to check this when I get home.

It is the Devil’s sweetener.

my dad always called it a one-eyed sandwich, and it involved an extra ingredient: bacon. fry some in the pan and put it aside. then, use the bacon grease to fry the bread and cook the egg. lay strips of bacon (two strips, cut in half) on the bread, to form a frame around the egg.

so decadent. so delicious.

when i was a kid it was an egg hat, but to my kids it’s rocky mountain eggs. the hardest part is cracking the egg precisely in the pan so the yolk stays intact and the white forms a perfectly symmetrical circle around it. the hole in the bread is made with the cap from an old vitamin bottle. when the egg in the pan begins to set, the bread and the “hat” are laid on top. then the whole shebang is shuffled back and forth and with a deft flick of the wrist, flipped in the air so it turns and falls back in the pan on the other side. sorry profussor, but i think my version out-OCD’s yours this time!!! love, robert’s mommy.
