About Soft-boiled egg
A soft-boiled egg is a whole egg cooked in its shell in hot water until the white is set and the yolk remains soft or partly liquid. It is eaten as prepared or used as an ingredient, and cooking time and egg size affect the final consistency.
The shell is removed for eating; inside, the white is tender and the yolk is creamy to runny. The exact texture varies with cooking and cooling. This term describes a cooked egg rather than a separate egg variety, and it does not specify the bird species or any seasoning.
