egg question

[ChickiDoodle]

what's it called when you boil an egg for about 4-5 min. and then tap the top open with a spoon and eat it off the shell????

i LOVE eating eggs like this but is there an official name for that? other than weird? :D

If the yolk is still gooey, then it's a soft boiled egg.
If the yolk is hard, then it's called a hard boiled egg.
Either way, it's still pretty tasty for breakfast with some toast.

i know it is ill but i eat them with butter. :)
not that i have had them in over a year since my cholesterol. but eggbeaters aren't that bad.

Yum, soft boiled eggs and soldiers (soldiers being your pieces of toast cut up into nice dunking pieces/strips).

In Bulgariyan it's called "яйце за хардуер" and in Greek it's "σκληρός αυγό" (both mean "hard egg") but in English I think it is simply called "hard boiled eggs." There might be a French term for it that you've adopted.

Most common is "hard boiled egg". Can't think of any other names at the moment.

oops, i forgot to check back. :D

i boil it for about 4-5 min., and the yolk isn't runny but it's definitely not hard. and i POUR salt in there (takes away the egg-y taste) and eat it with a tiny spoon.

it's real hot too!

3 min. egg...when you get those little hourglass's for eggs they are usually set-up for this paticular egg you prefer to consume :)
