I discovered soft boiled eggs on my trip to Paris in May. I had always known about the little egg holders/stands, but thought they were just for the decorative presentation of a regular hard-boiled egg. I saw the waitress walk by with a pretty tray of colorful plates holding an egg in a stand and asked her to order me the same thing, mostly because I wanted to take a picture of it and felt weird taking pictures of other people's food. Then I found out how wonderful these eggs are, and learned how to make them upon my return home. I even have a stand, but it isn't quite as pretty as the French one in my painting. Oil on 6"h x 8"w Ray Mar panel. SOLD.
