Dippy Eggs

There are alot of people finding this blog because they want to learn how to cook a "dippy" egg - but keep finding Pysanky instead.

It's not hard - so I thought I would humor them. Please note that it IS NOT RECOMMENDED to eat eggs with runny yolks as they still may contain salmonella, ecolai and other yucky stuff that could make you sick.

A dippy egg: any soft boiled or over easy egg that you can "dip" your toast in. Also known as soft-boiled or over easy

Soft-boiled (Dippy Eggs) for chicken, duck, and goose eggs
  1. Make sure your eggs are at room temperature
  2. Place the eggs in a pot and fill it with water
  3. Remove the eggs and add a teaspoon of salt to the water
  4. Bring the water to a boil
  5. For a medium chicken egg: Place the egg in the boiling water for a minimum of 3 1/2 minutes. The actual time will depend on the freshness of the egg and the preference of the eater. Fresher eggs will take longer to cook.
  6. Add 1/2 a minute to the time for a large egg, 45 seconds for extra large etc
  7. For duck eggs, cook the egg for a minimum of 4 1/2 minutes
  8. For goose eggs, cook the egg for a minimum of 5 1/2 minutes

Over Easy instructions for chicken, duck, and goose eggs.
  1. Heat your frying pan on medium heat and add a small bit of oil if you're not using a non stick pan
  2. Crack the egg into the pan
  3. Turn the heat down to low
  4. When the dense pool of egg white around the yolk begins to set flip the egg
  5. Count to ten and flip the egg out of the pan and onto a plate
