The older the egg the more watery they get. Just boil a pan of water and crack them into the water just simmering. I crack mine into a ladle and lower gently in. Approximately 3 minutes as with boiled eggs fresh take a bit longer, the white of the egg should be white and firm. Place on toast and cut straight away to stop them going hard.

I get the toast or bread which way to go but they all soldiers at the end of the day if it gets on top I guess half n half is the solution lol Edited April 11, 2020 by green lurchers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

green lurchers 16,369 Posted April 11, 2020 Report Share Posted April 11, 2020 Got a few things marinating for the afternoon Bbq. The chicken is sitting in a bowl of garlic and fresh squeezed orange but felt drawn to add maximum heat so a whole dried home grown Carolina reaper has found its way into the marinade Sort of adds to the bbq adventure lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
