Loved the recipe the only thing was that the eggs were half raw! the yolk was runny but uncooked runny and half of the egg white was liquid! Had to find a way to save them :( the marmite and seeds was amazing though.

Yum! I've been having dippy eggs with marmite for a while but have never quite perfected getting the runny yolk but set white (I always either overdo the yolk or underdo the white - bleughhh!). These instructions were perfect, though. Thanks!

Love soft-boiled eggs, love Marmite, but think I'd rather stick with unspoiled buttered toast for this - though the seeds are an interesting addition. However - my contribution is that if you want perfectly soft-boiled eggs at 8,200ft (Colorado Rockies), boil for exactly 7 minutes (from fridge). Took me a while to work this out!

Just made this delicious breakfast, I have to say that I was a little unsure about the mixed seeds on the side but to my surprise it worked really well and tasted great! Will def make tins breakfast again and may even try it out on my husband!!

I put my fridge cold eggs onto hot but not quite boiling water and all of them split, so I had hard boiled eggs :( Has any one had success with cold eggs? I'm living proof that even with a recipe, some people can't (soft) boil an egg!

Amazing. Didn't have seeds so omited them and used wholemeal pitta instead of normal brown bread which worked brilliantly. It had probably been about 10 years since i'd last had a runny egg but now I'm having them all the time. It's really the marmite that makes this though as the savoury punch adds so much extra flavour and thus enjoyment. Yum.
