How to Make Soft Boiled Eggs Just Like Downton Abbey

I love Soft Boiled Eggs. Do you? To me, they feel so decadent. Just like living in Downton Abbey.

Soft Boiled Eggs make you feel like royalty, especially in egg cups.

Soft Boiled Eggs

Hi. It’s Lois in the kitchen at Recipe Idea Shop, telling you how to make Soft Boiled Eggs—easy peasy. Soft Boiled Eggs are one of the easiest eggs to make. You can make them soft, medium or hard boiled in the same manner. I like them any way they are boiled. And two boiled eggs are just 140 calories.

If you lived in Downton Abbey, you might have seen morning eggs served in beautiful egg cups like these:

Don and I have some like these egg cups and we love them because they have room for the little spoons…

Of course, the servants made the eggs and cut the tops off, which always seems like the most daunting part about eating Soft Boiled Eggs.

When we had Soft Boiled Eggs when I was a kid, we just whacked them with a spoon to break the shell, and then cut them in half. We dug the egg out of the shell and put it in a bowl. Of course, there would be times when there were a few eggshells in the bowl, but a little calcium never hurt anybody, right? Now you can use this handy device—it’s called an Egg Topper—to cut the tops off and eat your eggs without little pieces of the shell! Super easy.
