Never in my life did I think I would eat a soft-boiled egg. The thought of a runny yolk was repulsive. But then I did try it. With my farm-fresh eggs from my CSA box. And I was sold.
Apparently, in the UK this is called egg and soldiers -- a soft-boiled egg with salt and pepper and some buttered pieces of toast to dip in. It is soooo good. I can't explain it. Also good to dip, some thin, raw asparagus spears (a la Nigella).
My perfect egg is actually medium boiled -- for about 7 minutes -- with buttered asiago ciabatta. Heaven!
I need to try this! I don't like runny egg, but I can handle the yolk very soft as long as it is thick enough not to run. I think 7-minute eggs are in order for breakfast tomorrow!
