I have just discovered soft boiled eggs - can you believe that? I love dunking a crusty piece of bread in the runny yolk. YUM I don't have an egg cup so using a condiment cup. But loving these so much I am going to have to purchase an egg cup. I also want to try coddled eggs. Having plenty of time for breakfast so fun trying different egg dishes. And this is one of the few fresh fruits I can eat. Wanted to eat my egg while it was warm so didn't play enough with shadows and light.
A neighbour gave me 6 eggs a few days ago..3 white, 3 brown. They were delicious. They have several hen species in a large outdoor pen where they scratch about, stretch their necks forward and then 'pull' them in again...and lay eggs.
That’s interesting because when I did much more B&B than I do now I used to have a few American guests & none of them knew what a boiled egg was. They used to ask for them with their bacon but were most surprised when the egg came in an egg cup. I got to explaining the end. The lovely joys of having guests from different countries...I loved it! Lots of laughs!
@happypat I think we mostly think of hard-boiled eggs rather than soft boiled. But I have watched enough old movies or read books where they eat soft boiled eggs, plus of course seen them on cooking shows. Think when things return to norm I will get an egg cub. Is it worth it to invest in an egg cracker?
@joansmor I have lots of egg cups Joan, wish you were nearer. We never use what you call egg crackers here....I can guess what they are but doubt you could buy one over here so no I wouldn’t. Just use the back of the teaspoon you will eat it with, give it a tap or two & slice off. Some people use a knife but I don’t.
When I was little, my mom always made those when I was sick - thank you for the reminder, maybe I will give them a try. I can't eat scrambled eggs unless they are covered I ketchup!
Such interesting comments about boiled eggs. I cannot eat any eggs with runny yolks... We are fortunate here and very seldom buy eggs (I could almost say never) as our girls keep us and our friends supplied.

My mom used to make boiled eggs a lot for us for breakfast. I haven't had one in ages ... maybe today!
