What am I doing??

All of a sudden I craved a soft boiled egg. In Europe they commonly have them at hotel breakfast buffets, and ... I liked them. My mouth was watering at the now-distant memory, so out came my Joy of Cooking and I figured out how to make them ( Read more... )

Would a carefully poached egg suffice? ;)

Not the same!

grendel1097 June 3 2010, 06:05:30 UTC

I know it isn't the same. But it's not a bad thing, is it? ;)

Poached eggs are not bad things... no. :)

*LAUGH* If I wasn't allergic to egg whites... they are weird little things aren't they?

san_simeon_girl June 3 2010, 14:57:03 UTC

That's a sucky allergy to have. Even in baked goods??

Thank goodness no unless it's in huge quantities (like beloved angelfood cake *pout*) - high heat breaks down the albumin. I love meringue and I can't touch the stuff anymore!

I'm always a little soft boiled! dwheat June 3 2010, 20:12:00 UTC

Try your local dollar store. Soft boiled eggs are a little more common up here in Canada, but I see egg cups all the time here at Dollarama. Most are boring and basic white, but they do the trick and are within my price range. Be sure to get your little egg spoons too!

But I already have mine on order :) It's so much more fun this way! Now I get to look for them everyday in my mailbox!

{gag} For some reason I can't get myself to eat yolks that aren't overcooked. No runny yolks for this girl!

So we haven't heard. Have the egg cups arrived? How they working for ya????

Oh yes they did, they are lovely!! I mostly just keep them on display in the window over my kitchen sink, but I have used two of them. I should take pictures and share...

One thing that puzzles me is they are two-sided... one big side and one smaller side (for chicken eggs). What do they put in the big side? Goose eggs??
