The Breakfast Ballad

This Breakfast Is Probably an Icon

If you have overdone the bourbon and headbanging the night before, a couple of Boiled Eggs with Toast can sometimes be better than a fry up. (And I never thought Id hear myself say that). Its obviously much lighter on the guts; the ballad to the fry ups thundering drum solo if you will.
But you must cut the toast into 'soldiers' as shown in the photo, this is what millions of British children have gotten used to over the years. And its not simply a tradition, cutting the toasted bread like this makes it easy for the bread to fit into the cracked open egg shell, allowing the hungover mosher to plunge the golden toast into gorgoeus, yellowy, yolky goodness. (Butter and egg yolk are the bomb mixed!)
One thing that has been debated since before Led Zepplin even looked at a stage is how long it takes to boil the perfect egg. Its like the Holy Grail of food. Some say 3 minutes, others say 5, but at the end of the day its up to you whether you prefer runny yolk or solid. Personally I go for messy as hell, meaning 3 minutes are plenty enough for a great egg.

Music to eat this to: Bon Jovi, Van Halen, Poison and Saxon.

P.S. If you would like to purchase one of those funky VW egg cups then they are for sale at Equinox in Tenby.
