I call that a missed opportunity. Had It been fried in bacon grease you'd be onto something. As it stands... failure. For the sake of the poll though, over medium

Quoted: Now you done it Add a teaspoon of white vinegar to a small pot of water. Crack one or two eggs into a small bowl. When the water reaches a gentle boil, swirl it with a spoon and drop the eggs into the center of the swirling water. Maintain your water temperature so that it just slightly bubbles - you don't want it to boil too hard or get too cold. Immediately set your timer for exactly 3 minutes. When the timer goes off, remove the eggs at once, using a slotted spoon to let water drain from the eggs. If the eggs are for personal consumption, you're all done. Serve them however you like. If they are for company, you may wish to blot off excess water with a paper towel and perhaps trim the whites a bit with kitchen shears to make a more desirable presentation. If the above procedure is followed, it will result in a perfectly done egg, whites set and cooked but not rubbery, and a cooked but flowing yolk. Some here might say that it produces a "dippy" egg. I would not be one of those people, however. View Quote You can do the same in the microwave. Place the egg in a bowl with enough water to cover it and nuke for 50 seconds. Cooking them properly in a pan is the preferred method though. |
