how long to boil egg for runny yolk
Report Abuse. 6 or 7 minutes will give you pretty much a hard boiled egg. I time mine for 3 - 4 minutes once the water returns to a boil. I take them out of the water after 3 and by time my toast is buttered they are done just right. Cooked white and runny yolk. Just did this a couple of days ago actually.
