I halved this recipe for breakfast this morning for DH and myself. I did not bake as long as we prefer runny eggs with our soldiers (which by the way were vegemite soldiers). We thoroughly enjoyed this feeling like kids again dipping our soldiers into the runny egg. Wonderful recipe especially with fresh tomato's from the garden and eggs from my girls. We will enjoy this a lot more often as this recipe is so easy and quite quick to make for breakfast, not too mention tasty!
