I love soft boiled eggs too! I’d eat them raw if it weren’t for salmonella. Just looking at your pictures makes my mouth water! Now I know what I’m having for breakfast tomorrow. Thanks Lori!

I love soft boiled eggs!

Americans are deathly afraid of Salmonella though — everywhere they serve eggs they have these signs that say the US FDA recommends you cook eggs thoroughly at X-hundred degrees to prevent illness blah blah.

Hi Lori! I actually like Soft-boiled Eggs since i was a kid. It tastes good! Hehe!:) Though a lot of people tell me that it is better to eat eggs when thoroughly cooked, i still leave the yolks uncooked from time to time!
Keep on posting Lori, i enjoy your blogs so much, i started doing them on my own! Still, it’s nothing compared to your prowess in being a food critic!

I like my soft-boiled eggs chopped up and eaten with a slice of bread mopping up the yummy messy yolk. : ) -K

Just exactly how do you achieve that soft boiled state when the white is firm and the yolk has a bit of a firm outer with a runny inner?

Three minutes after dunking in rolling boiling water?

Help!

Oh, and regarding salmonella, I saw similar warning while searching for royal icing recipes that call for raw egg.

But you’re a cook and you’re a cook, so those that are helpful tell you that the FDA warns against the use of raw eggs. However, the recipes also say that if you must use raw eggs, make sure that they are Grade AA, come from a trusted source, and not have cracks.

I’ve got to agree with you and your readers. One of my favorite breakfasts is soft-boiled or poached egg mashed up with corned beef and eaten with rye bread. Sana umaga na uli.

You must have used organic eggs because the ones in the market have a very pale, anemic looking eyggyilks unlike your pictures showing a deep yello almost orange yolk.

Add me to the list of softboiled egg lover. I really love your photos, so lovely, beautiful color those eggs.
I had some very good softboiled eggs in Germany, and dipped my bread into their creamy yolk, no salt. It was a simple and tasty breakfast I could have again and again.

Everyone-
Thanks so much for your comments. I appreciate them all.

Riagirl-
I get cold eggs from the fridge and dunk them in water which I set to boil. Once the water comes to a hard boil, I set my timer for 3 minutes.

These pictures are gorgeous. Who knew eggs could be so sexy? I’ve been craving soft-boiled eggs ever since I saw this post and I haven’t thought about SB eggs in years!

My mother used to make me soft boiled eggs when I was a kid and I loved them. Then, for years, I thought that I didn’t like eggs. Recently, I remembered the soft boiled eggs my mom would make and realized it wasn’t eggs I didn’t like, but the cooking style. I LOVE SB eggs. It is one of the few ways I will eat them!!
