fried soft boiled egg



Recipe through copy paste via

For one person (2 eggs) you'll need:
two eggs
one tablespoon flour
one beaten egg
breadcrumbs*
salt and pepper
vegetable oil

or just follow the girls' recipe

After bringing a pot of water to boil( not like R says, to put them in the water while it comes to a boil) fully immerse the eggs and cook either 4-5 minutes if you want them turning out like above in the picture or a couple of minutes more in you like them with less runny yolks. I would have wanted them less runnier but I thought I would overcook them. I have not eaten or cooked an egg this way and so miscalculated. Any-who.
Fish them out and place them in a bowl with cold tap water. No need for ice. Change the water a couple of times, so you definitely know you've stopped the cooking process.
Heat your oil very well, making sure you don't accidentally spill water in there, like I usually do. 
Prepare your beaten egg, flour on a separate plate and the breadcrumbs(seasoned with the salt and pepper) on another. Dip one egg at a time first into the flour, the egg, then crumbs. Egg again and finally another of crumbs.
Fry them one at a time, and be careful as they brown very easily. Fish them out and place them on a kitchen paper towel to get rid of the excess oil.
Serve with whatever and everything.

* you can't find decent breadcrumbs in our supermarkets, I think, so you should make your own. 


You need so little bread, especially for this recipe. Just rip a piece of bread - baguette into crumbs. They don't have to be small because you can squish them between your fingers once they're out of the oven (170 C, 10-15 min) and make some bigger and others smaller.
