Gather your ingredients.

Bring about 2 inches of water to a boil in a small saucepan.

Gently place the eggs into boiling water and boil for about 6 and a half minutes.

Rinse the eggs under cold water until you can handle them easily with your bare hands.

Peel the eggs and set aside.

In a large heavy bottom saucepan, bring 1.5 cups of water to a boil.

Slowly stir in the cornmeal until it's smooth.

Add the salt and gently stir in the milk.

Keep stirring and bring the mixture to a boil again.

Reduce the heat and stir almost constantly to avoid scorching for about 15 minutes or until the mixture is thickened to your liking.

Stir in the butter and maple sugar.

Divide into bowls and top each with the nuts and soft boiled eggs.
