Egg and soldiers — the only breakfast as classic as a nursery rhyme, invoking Humpty Dumpty, the king’s men, and an unfortunate accident to a delicate scalp. Few breakfasts offer the childlike satisfaction of cracking open a soft egg: eating with your hands, dabbling those fingers of bread in the golden yolk, nudging the white away from the shell with the tip of a miniature spoon.
