Do You Like Runny Eggs?

January 8, 2009

On New Year's Day, out at brunch, I ordered poached eggs — extra runny. My friend asked for fried eggs, over hard. They messed up our orders: I got the hard eggs and he got the runny eggs. We were both incredibly disappointed, but when he saw the egg ooze golden yolk all over his plate, he totally gagged! He finds runny eggs disgusting, but I happen to love them. Where do you stand?

Eggs need to be cooked all the way for me to be able to eat them. Runny or even the slightly orange-y yellow undercooked yolk makes me gag.

Yes, I love them!!! Overeasy is my favorite way to eat eggs, and I love poached eggs too.

Over medium. The white has to be cooked all the way!! No runniness in the white but I love the yolk runny.

Oh I forgot to say, I only like runny yolk, no runny white for me! At least, not yet. :)

I love eggs...from my head down to my legs....:rotfl:My taste for eggs has evolved a lot over the years. I used to HATE any kind of eggs except scrambled (even then I'd cook them so long they'd taste like rubber so I gave up). My dad makes perfect scrambled eggs. No one has ever been able to live up to his eggs.UNTIL...I visited a friend for two weeks and his specialty was a fried, over medium egg, with bacon and cheese on an english muffin. The yolk was runny, but the white was completely cooked. I discovered I actually loved the runny yolk, and sopped it up. YUMMY. So now...I order my eggs over medium, with either sourdough toast or an english muffin. The only place I eat scrambled is at my parents.

Ooh...me luvs runny eggs! I've recently began eating runny eggs (over easy) on top of steamed rice, sprinkled w/ a bit of hot sauce. Duh-lish! However, once in a while, I like them well done, scrambled and fluffy. Bottom line: I just love eggs.

Isn't "sopping" what the "Nooks and Crannies" in an english muffin are for ?!

Ugh, the texture of fully cooked egg yolks is gross to me. They are chalky and weird. But I also can't stand runny eggs. My grandpa used to LOVE fried eggs with very runny yolks and he'd dip his toast into the yolks. It always grossed me out as a kid. When I eat eggs, I only like them scrambled and fully cooked, but not OVERdone.

I love runny eggs, when the yolk gets hard it tastes....weird and strong...i love to dip my toast in it or whatever starch i'm having. but of course, the whites should be fully cooked

yeah, i have some serious issues with eggs. runny eggs make me make me want to vomit, i wish i only gagged. flan and panna cotta have to be made correct...smooth and not too eggy. just this morning on the rachel ray show they had dr. phil's wife talking about an egg yolk face mask and was dipping her fingers into a bowl of scrambled yolks pulling them out to show the consistency of them. sorry, no way in hell i'm trying that beauty tip!
