I have been experimenting with soft boiled eggs. There is the perfect jammy egg where the yolk is 'waxy' as pictured above. It was delicious. I achieved this by bringing a couple of eggs to the boil and covering them for about 2 minutes. This time can vary so you have to practice. I am fine if they turn into hard boiled eggs otherwise. How do you like your eggs?
I like mine with runny yolks but firm whites! But mostly I make omelettes or scrambled eggs. Have a great week, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI like my eggs easy over or is it over easy? I used to love soft boiled eggs over hot rice with a little soy sauce.
ReplyDeleteI haven't done perfectly like you did, I always have hard-boiled eggs :(
ReplyDeleteI like a dippy egg with toast soldiers , runny but no runny white, bleck!!
ReplyDeleteFirm whites and yellows that need toast to sop them up 🍳
ReplyDeleteHubby loves firmly cooked hard boiled eggs.
I did try the way that you made here...he didn't care for them.
The whole family loves devilled eggs.
this sounds interesting dear Christine
ReplyDeletesince i watched in a program a child who was suffering with weird disease caused by salmonella i have become more careful and avoid to eat half boiled or half fry egg
I sometimes make "soft boil eggs," I will try your technique to make "jammy eggs"...
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing.
They look perfect - even though I don't eat any eggs!
ReplyDeleteI have some microwave eggcookers this are two fun eggshaped thingies - you can use them likewise as eggcups and warmholder of eggs- they give perfect waxy eggs in no time - can recommend this . My daughter and her friend love these eggs on Sundays to their breakfast with which I spoil them from time to time!
Happy new week!

I used to have soft boiled all the time.
ReplyDeleteThis morning I had a fried egg. When the kids are here it is usually scrambled.
I like omelets.
ReplyDeleteOh they look good! I have such a terrible reaction to yolks though. I can eat them in baked stuff, but if I scramble, or cook them, ouch. I love egg white omelets and scrambles!
ReplyDeleteAside from adding them to a few recipes, I don't really eat eggs. Once in awhile I might have scrambled. But that's rare.
ReplyDeleteOver medium or scrambled though I will give these a try. Thanks, Christine!
ReplyDeleteI rarely ever eat them.
ReplyDeleteI do like eggs....green eggs and ham, Sam I am....oops, sorry that just got out of hand. I do like eggs. I like them mostly friend with the yellow running but nothing beats a good boiled egg. I bought this egg cooking thingy that cooks boiled eggs in 6 mins without having to actually boil them.
ReplyDeleteEggs are my main source of protein - fried, scrambled, hard boiled, deviled.
ReplyDeletedry, no slimy looking white of the egg and the yolk has to be solid - not soft... No moistness anywhere on my eggs! i'm cringing as I type this. Even the thought...
ReplyDeleteI just love eggs!
ReplyDeleteAny way is fine with me.
Today was fried, yesterday was poached … tomorrow may be a frittata!
All the best Jan
Sunnyside up for me :)
