I've never heard of the 1 minute boil, 6 minute stand method. I'll definitely be giving it a go as the old 3/4 minute boil tends to yield unpredictable yolk consistencies. I make my soldiers from cheese-on-toast, and with tea. Always tea with eggs! It's the white wine of hot beverages.

I learned this from my uncle, sans the Marmite.

i definitely threw up a lil in my mouth just now

I'll definitely be giving that a go. So far, I have been a purist when it comes to marmite - having it only with butter on either toast or bread - but I think it's time to be a little more adventurous and try it with other things. Apparently it's good with cheese (I imagine it's best to stick to mild cheeses, like cheddar, edam, or of course good old red leicester).

Soft-boiled egg....GOOD
Toasted soldiers.....GOOD
Tea...........GOOD

Very educational, the 1/6 minute thing will be tested on next sunday. That sounds fanastic.

I gave marmite another chance on Sunday ( I cannot throw the glass away ) but there's no progress so far.

Marmite? That's soooo 2007!

Horrifying! I will give this tutorial a "like" simply because I would like to see the series continue, not because I actually "like" Marmite.

lucky like #8 and i haven't even watched it yet. you had me at marm.

I'm so gonna do this tomorrow! Thanks. :)

I almost liked this video but I gagged when you spread the spread which must not be named.

Oh GOD I MISS this Sunday breakfast special.
With Sunday papers. (Read not eaten)
I could do it... got the eggs... got the marmite
Got the cholesterol AAAAARGH

Have you noticed that Marmite has been weakened in recent years? I think they made it more like Vegemite so as to make people put more on the toast that way it gets eaten up quicker. Also it has a plastic top now... sigh.... Not the Grandpa Juice it once was...

Have you tried toast with butter, Marmite and honey?
Recommended.

you just LOVE runny eggs and marmite...
