Breakfast in Bed: Soldier Egg Cup


This weekend I had a lovely break in Camber Sands in Sussex, the highlight of which was an amazing breakfast of perfectly soft-boiled eggs with marmite soldiers. Marmite soldiers! I haven't had toasty soldiers for years.

And so when I saw this little egg-cup set at Heal's, I decided I just had to have one. Not only is it cute-as-can-be, with said perfectly soft-boiled egg hiding under the soldier's hat and a little red spoon clutched in his hand, but it comes with a stencil for cutting out ACTUAL TOAST SOLDIERS.

Yes, I know, it's for kids. But I'm only 30.

Soldier Egg Cup, £8 from Heals.

    Been desperately trying to get my boys to like eggy dip (that's what we used to call it...) maybe, just maybe these soldiers will be the winning ingredient!
