Soft boiled eggs is something one doesn't order in restaurants... next
time order soft poached eggs, and even that is best made at home.
Even fried over easy and scrambled is hit and miss at many
restaurants, both are typically over cooked. Why do you think omelets
are so popular, they're the easiest to cook, don't even need to know
how to crack an egg without breaking the yolk.
