Dippy Vegan Egg Recipes

DIPPY VEGAN EGG

Steps:

• 1. Deseed the tomato and finely dice the flesh.
• 2. Add all the ingredients for the dippy sauce into a blender. Blitz until the sauce is smooth and golden, approx 30 seconds to 1 minute.
• 3. Pour the sauce into a non-stick pan and simmer gently until thickened to your liking. Keep stirring to ensure it doesn't stick. Don't allow it to boil and bubble too rapidly. Mine only needed to simmer for 90 seconds.
• 4. Pour the sauce into a large egg cup, small container or glass jar. Make sure whatever you use is deep and wide enough to allow the soldiers to be properly submerged.
• 1. Slice your bread into thick fingers and lay them out in a single layer on a baking tray. Lightly brush both of the widest surfaces with olive oil and sprinkle with a tiny pinch of salt and pepper.
• 2. Toast the bread for a few minutes, under a hot grill or broiler, until golden. Flip over and toast the other side until evenly golden on both sides.
• 3. Dunk the toasted soldiers into the dippy egg sauce and enjoy!

DIPPY EGGS WITH MARMITE SOLDIERS

Steps:

• Bring a pan of water to a simmer. Add 2 eggs, simmer for 2 mins if room temp, 3 mins if fridge-cold, then turn off heat. Cover the pan and leave for 2 mins more.
• Meanwhile, toast 4 slices wholemeal bread and spread thinly with butter, then Marmite. To serve, cut into soldiers and dip into the egg, then a few mixed seeds.

BAKED DIPPY EGGS

Steps:

• Ask a grown-up helper to switch the oven on to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Put 4 ramekins in front of you. Cut the ham and spinach into strips with your scissors. Put some in each ramekin.
• Squash the cherry tomatoes into a bowl using your fingers. Spoon 2 tomatoes and some juices into each ramekin.
• Break an egg into a bowl. Scoop out any pieces of shell with a spoon, then tip the egg carefully into the ramekin. Do the same with the other 3 eggs.
• Grate the cheese and sprinkle some on top of each egg. Ask a grown-up helper to put them in the oven on an oven tray for 15-18 minutes or until the egg white has set.
