How do you cook dippy egg?

You mean a "dippy egg" or a "soft boiled egg"? Here's how to cook both:

Soft Boiled Egg (Dippy Egg)

Ingredients:

* 1 egg

* Cold water

Instructions:

1. Start with cold water: Fill a small saucepan with enough cold water to cover the egg by about an inch.

2. Gently place the egg in the water: Make sure the egg is completely submerged.

3. Bring the water to a simmer: Don't let it boil! A simmer is a gentle, consistent bubble.

4. Time it carefully:

* For runny yolk: 3-4 minutes

* For slightly set yolk: 5-6 minutes

* For firmer yolk: 7-8 minutes

5. Remove the egg: Carefully lift the egg out of the hot water using a slotted spoon.

6. Cool the egg: Immediately place the egg under cold running water for a few seconds to stop the cooking process.

7. Peel and enjoy: Carefully crack the egg and peel away the shell.

Tips:

* Older eggs are easier to peel: The air pocket inside the egg gets bigger as it ages, making the shell separate from the white more easily.

* Add salt to the water: This can help with peeling.

* Use a spoon to crack the egg: This prevents the yolk from breaking.

* Dip your egg into a ramekin or small bowl: Serve with soldiers (toast strips) or your favorite dipping sauce.

Dipping sauces:

* Butter

* Salt and pepper

* Vinegar

* Worcestershire sauce

* Hot sauce

Enjoy your perfect dippy egg!
