Gluten Free Bacon Asparagus Egg Soldiers Recipe

Maybe I have a bad memory, but I hardly ever remember eating eggs for breakfast when I was growing up. We were more of a hot or cold cereal (but not sugary cereals, which I thought was VERY unfair – right up there with the no Saturday morning cartoon rule), toast or toasted English muffins and stewed, dried fruit (gross!) kind of breakfast family. The exception was when I was ill. Then it was soft boiled eggs.

I loved soft boiled eggs and I still do. Maybe it is because I was always served them when ill that they always have seemed so comforting to me. The very best was when they were served in egg cups with little toast soldiers that I dipped into the perfectly runny yolks.

I love the ritual of soft boiled eggs – placing the hot egg in an egg cup, deftly (hopefully!) slicing off the top, sprinkling with course salt and scooping up the velvety rich, thickly runny yolk along with the just set white. Somehow it makes breakfast seem like a scene from an old movie where everyone had servants and breakfast was a shared morning routine. And I still like dipping “soldiers” into my soft boiled eggs.

These days it is not toast that dips into my yolks but bacon wrapped asparagus. I cannot begin to describe the amazing blend of flavors and textures. You will just have to try it for yourself.

This is an easy Gluten Free Bacon Asparagus Egg Soldiers Recipe which can be quickly whipped up even on a workday morning and yet has a touch of elegance. And as an added bonus, in my family it is a great way to get those munchkins to eat veggies.
