I love soft boiled eggs – I just eat them with white pepper and a dash of soy sauce, and I’m in heaven. Now you’ve given me the idea of eating it with anchovy soldiers…. oh my.

Shayma – It is the ultimate comfort snack and my mistake! There is something about a runny egg isn’t there? Nursery food.

Lizzie – The world is indeed a strange and freakish place. I know you feel the love for the anchovy soldiers.

Gastrogeek – You MUST try an oeuf en cocotte! It is a basic human right and pleasure. I didn’t get around to making that dhal yet by the way but I expect that is similar in terms of addictive quality.

Kerri – Eh?! Don’t like eggs? Well I never! I don’t have an egg coddler no, but I am going to google it right now because I want one for the name if nothing else.

The Curious Cat – It’s hard to stop isn’t it? Once you start eating them from the tin I mean. There’s no way back for you now.

Carla – Oh yes! Glad to spread the anchovy soldier love.

Jenn – Thanks!

Greedy Diva – Indeed. It is a comfort snack of the highest order and no mistake.

Sophie – Ooh that does sound interesting! Do let me know if you try it.

Kavey – Oh no, not an anchovy hater! Well I would suggest eating his portion too in that case. I may well have twitpicced this or if not some other anchovy soldier accompanied dish!

James – Wise words dude, wise words.

Nora – The breakfast of champions!

What a stupendous flavour combination. So savoury and warming. And quite possibly my breakfast tomorrow morning!

Always good to have something to dip you bread in……

Mmm, did you tweetpic this on twitter? It looks sooo fantastic. If I can just persuade Pete to overcome hatred of anchovies this would make SUCH a fine brunch… though I guess he could have it without the little fishies!

Ooooh, sounds nice! I saw the picture of this on flickr and hoped you’d post the recipe.

I was flicking through a book-club book at work today and they had an interesting variation on baked eggs which was to cook them (ramekin and all) in a slow cooker.
