All you need to do is soft boil a few eggs, while these are cooking, toast a slice or two of sourdough bread. Give your toast a quick spread of vegemite and cut into 6-8 rectangles. When your egg is ready, pop it in an egg cup and knock off the top. Use your dippers to get into that lovely soft yolk.
