How do you eat soft boil eggs?
-
I think I must be one of only few, who can only eat a soft-boiled egg if there is plain or buttered toast to dip into the egg. I just can’t bring myself to eat the egg on its own.
-
Depends. If there is buttered toast, I will dip the toast in it and savour. Last bits will go straight down via saucer.
If there is no buttered toast, I like to keep the yolk whole and gulp the whole thing down. Somehow the little ‘bop’ as the yolk breaks inside the mouth/throat is very satisfying.
Chin mee chin has the most consistent soft boiled eggs I know - and with their luncheon meat bun…it’s a deathly combination that is oh so worth it. -
hquek : :hi5: That's how i like my half-boiled eggs too!
Mrs Ang :
To make eggs for DS breakfast, I do the following
1. use an enamel mug with cover (those yellow/light green ones)
2. put in eggs in 1 'layer' - upright or on its side (ie if your mug is small, you might be able to 'squeeze' 3 x 55gm eggs in)
3. put in water SLOWLY to immerse eggs abt 1 cm above(if too fast, the shells may crack)
4. wait about 3 mins (i prepare coffee/milo), then pour away the water
5. immerse eggs again about 3cms above & wait for another 3 to 5 mins (depends how 'soft')
6. crack & slurp - GONE!
Note: if you put eggs in the fridge, you might want to 'defrost' it a bit before step 3. To speed up, i 'rinse' them under tap water.
I use the water from the electric thermos pot. -
I dip toast into it and eat the remaining with a spoon when I'm out.
When I'm home, I'm too busy with DD to make or enjoy this treat
-
I eat like you Schweppes, only occasionally dip in toast.

And when he's done, you'll see the imprint of the saucer's edge lining his mouth so that he looks like he's smiling at you. But look carefully, it's the remnants of the eggs extending from his lips upwards so as to give the impression that his lips are wider.
Satisfaction guaranteed.
And no need to clean the plate afterward

Not sure where else in the world is this eaten, but soft boil eggs do give me that warm fuzzy feel that I'm home. :love: :love:

Me too Mummy hquek
Because my Mommy used to make this for us for breakfast. I remember when I was at my physical in university and the doctor asked me what I ate for breakfast every morning, I told him \"two soft boil eggs everyday for the last 18 years\" I was 19 going on 20. He nearly fell off his chair. But he composed himself and said \"That's alot of eggs!\" But my cholesterol levels were and still are very good. So I'm sure if eggs are really that \"bad\" for you :idea:
I think a lot of people around the world eats this for breakfast. The angmohs call it \"3-minute eggs\". Here's a link to share (with recipes):

My French colleagues eat the soft boiled eggs. They make a small hole on the top of the eggshell, then use a small spoon to scoop it out. Very dainty, not like how we eat it.

I like it too lolAt home: With a loud slurp and a gulp. I will even lick the plate clean.
Outside: Daintily with a spoon. NO satisfaction at all!
