We ate soft boiled eggs when I was a kid. That's my remembrance also.
They got scooped out using a spoon. Where they went, I'm not sure,
either a bowl or a plate. They may have gone on a piece of toast on a
plate. It's been too long. I remember my dad's, though. He crushed
saltine crackers in a bowl, and the egg went on top of that. I must
have tried it, although I don't remember anything about it other than I
didn't like it that way.

Cook until semi-hard boiled(that's the way i like them; just a touch
runny, very rich, very yummy); rinse with cold water; put in freezer
10 minutes; peel. To peel, I just bump them around on the counter,
then roll them and start peeling. If you have a spot of trouble, try
and get under the membrane. This will improve your peeling
technique.

We peel soft boiled eggs. We like the whites set so peeling is no big
deal.

I love cooking with wine.
Sometimes I even put it in the food.

Hmmm... That got me thinking about molding a piece of either soft bread or
bread dough onto an upside-down muffin tin, baking, and using the resulting
cups as receptacles for soft-boiled eggs. You could add whatever spices you
like.

Is there any reason that wouldn't work? Would it possibly be necessary to
put another muffin tin on top to keep the shape of the cups?

Jerks like Squirts get people going. Them kinds think they're witty.
Worse, imbeciles actually follow 'leaders' like Squirts.

It is easier than that. Squish a slice of bread into the muffin tin
or ramekin. Crack in the egg and whatever else you want. Bake,or
even microwave very quickly. Done.
