Purple Sprouting Broccoli Dipped in Boiled Egg

After Devilled Kidneys yesterday another luscious breakfast this morning and a headstart on my five-a-day. Tender stems are sweet and the purple flour heads perfectly soak up the yolk.

All you need to do is soft boil the eggs , put the eggs into a pan of rapidly boiling water for 1.5 mins , add the PSB  for the last 30 seconds of cooking  (the thin stems means thats all it needs) . After cooking I tossed the purple sprouting with a little anchovy sauce, but salt and pepper works too. Just a few more weeks until British asparagus season so that will be the next vegetable dipped in my boiled egg
