Why is it that in movies the characters are always eating soft-cooked eggs from an egg cup and dipping their toast into the yolk? Well, I don't know either, but they sure look good, don't they? Here is a recipe for the perfect soft-cooked egg.

How to Make SOFT-COOKED DIPPING EGGS
- Place the eggs in a single layer in a deep saucepan with enough water to cover eggs at at least an inch.
- Bring water to a boil over high heat. Immediately remove pan from heat to stop boiling. Cover the saucepan and let eggs stand in water for 2 to 4 minutes until cooked as desired.
- Drain the water and immediately run cold water over the eggs to cool them a bit. Place each egg into an egg cup.
- Toast the bread and spread with butter. Cut toast into 1-inch strips.
- Crack the tops off eggs with a knife. Salt and pepper eggs as desired. Serve toast strips with eggs for dipping into soft yolks.
