I do like a nice soft boiled egg with soldiers. Known as a 'dippy'

Known as a three minute egg round here.

Is that egg in cold water, brought to boil & then boiled for three mins? Or
egg into already boiling water & boiled for three mins?

I assume the former, unless you like raw egg?

I put them into boiling water for 5 mins for a large egg.


I use the a method given by Delia in one of her books.

Bring water to boil, put in eggs, simmer for 1 minute. Turn off, cover
and leave for 5-7 minutes depending on how you like your eggs
