My girls have been providing me and my friends tummy’s with wonderful health giving eggs for the last 2 years. They and their divine bright orange yolk treats will be truly missed as I am moving now to a backyard that cannot house them. Thankfully they are going to greener pastures and hopefully they will be able to roam free without causing too much havoc in their new garden.
If you don’t know the secret to a good boiled egg, let me share it with you. I have the talented Jamie Oliver to thank for helping me master the art. Have your googy eggs at room temp. Get the water boiling but not going berserk, add a pinch of salt, gently lower you precious eggs into the water. Allow 5 minutes for soft, 71/2 minutes for medium and 10 minutes for hard. Tuck into them straight away or else they will keep cooking in the shell.
Still one of the most satisfying and nourishing ways to start the day. Oh and its goes without saying – don’t forget the soldiers – oh and should i add? Soldiers just aint soldiers without some organic butter!!
