Irish boiled eggs & dippies are a simple and traditional Irish breakfast dish. They are also known as 'dippy eggs' and are a popular choice for children. The dish consists of boiled eggs served with buttered bread squares, known as 'dippies'. The eggs are cooked to perfection with a soft yolk, which is perfect for dipping the dippies into. The dish can be seasoned with salt and pepper, or other seasonings if desired. It is a great way to start your day and is sure to keep you feeling full until lunchtime.

Instructions

1.	Put the eggs in a small saucepan and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt and bring the water to a boil.
2.	Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the eggs for 5 minutes for a soft boiled egg or 8 minutes for a hard boiled egg.
3.	While the eggs are cooking, prepare the dippies. Toast the bread until it is golden brown and then cut it into small squares. Melt the butter in a small dish and then season with salt and pepper.
4.	Once the eggs are cooked, remove them from the saucepan and run under cold water for a few seconds to stop the cooking process. Peel the eggs and cut them in half. Dip the dippies into the seasoned butter and then into the soft egg yolks. Enjoy!
