soft boiled egg
Dippy yolk dish
A soft boiled egg is cooked in its shell in boiling water just long enough for the white to set while the yolk remains runny—typically three to five minutes.
The egg is usually served in an egg cup and eaten with a spoon, often with toast soldiers for dipping: She tapped the shell and scooped out the soft boiled egg.
