Breakfast
Soft-boiled eggs with asparagus soldiers
Asparagus does what toast soldiers did and the yolk is still the point — six and a half minutes is the number, and it is worth timing.

Method
6 steps · 15 minutes
- Bring a small pan of water to a proper rolling boil before the eggs go in. Starting them in cold water makes the timing meaningless.
- Lower them in on a spoon and set a timer for 6½ minutes for a fully runny yolk, 7½ for a jammy one.
- Snap the woody end off one spear — it breaks where it wants to — and trim the rest to match.
- Boil the asparagus in the same water for the last 3 minutes, then drain and toss it in the butter.
- Run the eggs under cold water for 15 seconds. This stops the cooking without chiling the yolk.
- Season and dip. Anything left of the butter goes over the asparagus.
