soft boiled egg

[Wagamama]

why does my soft boiled egg always end up a hard boiled egg? it makes me sooo... mad!!!

Are you boiling it?

Maybe you could try making them over easy instead. They are alot like soft boiled, except spread out more.

I let them come to 1 boil then i turn the heat off and let them sit for 2 minutes. am i doing it wrong? i don't really like over easy eggs...

I have no idea how to make soft-boiled eggs, but I though over-easy eggs were similar. I could be wrong. Maybe you just need to boil them for a shorter time. Experiment a little.

As soon as my eggs come to a boil I turn the pot down to a simmer and set my microwave timer for exactly 3 minutes and I get perfect soft bolied eggs every time.

DH likes soft boiled, but we never had them at home. I make his the same way Sammi does. We always ate poached - to me they are much more like soft boiled than over easy are. I like the poached because you eat them on bread instead of just off the spoon. (It's also easier to tell when they're ready & not overdone.

I love soft boiled eggs, but have never ever been able to master making them So you are not alone...

I do the "let it sit for 3 minutes" routine in water that has been brought to a boil with the egg in it, then turn off the heat. The result is what I call a soft-boiled egg: cooked white (similar to a hard boiled egg but not as sturdy) with a somewhat runny yolk.
