Good thread, Angie! Egg threads get surprisingly busy! I once asked how long to cook a hard boiled egg and that turned pretty lively, too!Thanks for all the replies.
I put “rare” scrambled eggs in quotation marks because I couldn’t think of another concise adjective, but figured you’d get my drift.
I like my yolks soft or barely runny - to runny grosses me out
Yeah, me too. I don't liek them "runny" but they don't have to be 100% hard either. It's a very narrow window to get it perfect, though I would probably err on the hard side than the runny side.
Aye or nay?
That’s a big nope for me. No sunny side up, no over easy, no soft boiled, no poached, not even “rare” scrambled eggs.
Dipping toast into the runny yolks?
^ That reminds me of something. My neighbor kept ducks. She offered me fresh duck eggs on several occasions. Truth was that we keep a lot of eggs on hand so I thanked her but said no thanks. Unspoken truth was that I wasn’t sure we could eat them. What would you guys have done? (PS I am a city girl and have never had anything but a store bought egg! I know that might sound funny to many of you!)
