I think Catherine may be right, I had never thought of that before. Maybe they are taking longer than 3 mins not because of the altitude but because the eggs are so much bigger now. That would make a lot of sense. <br />Also, I have never met anyone that doesn't like runny eggs before, so I am super surprised to hear that so many people don't like them.

Now, an interesting factoid for you - apparently they don't take 3 minutes any more coz they're bigger these days than they used to be...!<br />It's very hard to get right, but I tend to put them in hot but not boiling water, and then start to time them for 3 minutes once the water starts boiling. You didn't mention putting loads of salt on yum yum yum!<br />x x x<br />CatherineCatherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02422541501117799662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2164401589480284186.post-79964541029993122182010-03-14T11:04:38.213-06:002010-03-14T11:04:38.213-06:00This sounds SO yummy, Tara!

Although if I were a child, and you gave me that plate in your picture, i think I would have LOTS of fun dipping that toast into the egg!!!! Actually, I haven't had a soft boiled egg in ages....maybe it is time to try again!Audrey Yeagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14646110797408460610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2164401589480284186.post-65333504173585159012010-03-12T10:21:47.826-07:002010-03-12T10:21:47.826-07:00Yes, you just boil the water and put the egg in th...Yes, you just boil the water and put the egg in there. It is best to lower it in with a spoon rather than just chucking it in otherwise the shell can crack. You then take it out after about 3 - 4 minutes, I then run it under the cold tap to stop it cooking. I then tap the top of the shell with a spoon and peel of a bit of the shell, like in my photo and then you are all set to go. You do need an egg cup though, it is nearly impossible to eat and dip without one. Also, butter on the toast is essential, the butter then melts in with the egg yolk when you dip - just delicious!!!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04870172448528152698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2164401589480284186.post-50567689157910177862010-03-12T09:45:50.433-07:002010-03-12T09:45:50.433-07:00I sent this off to Catherine from OriginalStitch.....I sent this off to Catherine from OriginalStitch... she's English...
