Runny Egg Yolks

[RedAngie]

Aye or nay?

That’s a big nope for me. No sunny side up, no over easy, no soft boiled, no poached, not even “rare” scrambled eggs.

Dipping toast into the runny yolks?

 

[smokeyblue]

I love dipping toast in a runny yolk! Another favorite is a soft-boiled egg on top of my ramen noodles.

 

[Sinder]

I’m with you OP that’s a big nope for me

 

[fla4fun]

I prefer scrambled eggs, prepared well done, with a sprinkling of cheese on top.

With some bacon and potatoes on the side and a biscuit or two . . .

Now I need some breakfast!

 

[Disneylover99]

I don’t mind a little bit rare. Lol.
But I prefer fully cooked.
Give me a nice hard boiled egg.

 

[luvnwdwgal]

Absolutely! Dipping your toast or bacon into runny egg yoke is delicious. Yum!

I love my fried eggs 'over medium.' The white has to be cooked, but the yolk should be runny- and I love an egg on ramen. If the white isn't cooked enough, I splash the broth over it until it is, but the yolk stays runny/jammy (although jammy is a word I hate in connection with egg yolk- hearing it makes me wanna even though I like my eggs this way!)

Ummmm, safe to say OP wouldn't care for a favorite of ours when having Chinese or Japanese hot pots. We love to beat an egg in a rice bowl and dip meats and some veggies fresh out of the simmering broth.

I'm with smokeyblue on the soft-boiled egg with ramen. Better still if it happens to be soy-marinated. YUMlicious.

 

[antmaril]

Nope!

 

[Disney.Dreamin.Dee]

The only way I like eggs is runny over toast or hard boiled.
There is no other way. I gag at the thought of scrambled lol.

When I was young, that's pretty much the only way I'd eat eggs. We called them "dippy yolk eggs." They kind of gross me out now though. I haven't had them in many years (and the only way I like them now is deviled).

Once when my daughter was pretty small, we went to a restaurant for breakfast and she announced that she wanted "dippy yolk eggs" for her breakfast. The waiter was very confused until I said "she means over easy" to which he replied, "Wow! In the 3 years that I've worked here, I don't think I've had a kid order eggs anyway way other than scrambled!"

Aye for me - over easy, preferably. It’s hard to get a sunny side egg cooked right. By the time the white is set, the yolk is usually over.

And potatoes and pancakes.

Exactly this. Soft enough to dip but thick enough it’s not all over the place. Whites absolutely must be cooked through.

My DH the eggs must be dead, even if that means almost burned. If there’s even the barest hint of dark yellow he’ll send them back.

My mom would dip her toast in the runny yolks and throw the whites away.

Runny yolks is the only way I eat them.

 

[maxaroni]

That is a hard no from me.

 

[dazedx3]

I love fried eggs. They are fried quick on a high heat, so the whites get a touch crispy on the edges and the yolks are runny. Yum

 

[Boopuff]

No eggs ever nope, hard pass

 

[Dan Murphy]

I can do eggs most ways except over hard. I like at least some moisture.

 

[BayouQueen]

I really like a poached egg on toast, with the white firm and yolk runny. BUT...I'm a nut about freshness of the eggs. To me, they are like chicken or fish -- gotta be fresh. Older eggs I will bake with, but not eat standalone.

I test them by making sure they sink in water like this:

Fully cooked for me. Eggs is also one of those things it is recommended be cooked to a certain temperature to avoid food borne illnesses.
