Eggs and Soldiers with Asparagus
Strips of whole wheat toast “soldiers” and crisp tender asparagus dipped into a soft boiled egg, if that’s not the perfect Spring breakfast, I don’t know what is!
Not only is this a quick, affordable, healthy way to start the morning (takes less than 10 minutes), it’s also fun dunking your toast strips and asparagus into the yolk.
Eggs yolks used to get a bad rap, but according to the USDA, egg yolks are considered a healthy option because they are high in protein, vitamins and minerals. The nutrients in eggs can play a positive role in muscle strength, brain function, eye health and more.
As a child, I remember having soft boiled eggs for breakfast. My mom would serve it in a cute little egg holders and a mini spoons which is probably what started my obsession with egg holders. Don’t you just love them!
