Can I eat over-easy eggs?

As in, uncooked yoke?  My Dr. really didn't give me a list, and I keep having to look everything up online.  I know I can't eat raw egg, but I'm not sure that's the same for the yoke since it is heated, but not cooked until hard.  Thanks!

I think I read somewhere (can't remember where) not to. Probably for the same reason as lunch meat? Eat at your own risk - some people do, some don't. Up to you.

you shouldn't.

I wouldn't eat undercooked eggs.

No, you shouldn't, and it makes me sad because that's the only way I like eggs.

I still eat them.  I suppose there is a risk that you could get sick, but I've never gotten sick from eating them this way my entire life, so I'll take my chances.  It's like a lot of things though, you have to decide for yourself because there is usually conflicting opinions.

I eat them.  I also eat lunchmeat.  My OB was more concerned about the sodium and nitrates in lunchmeat than he was in listeria.

Same for eggs.  So long as they aren't expired you should be fine.

I prefer uncooked yoke but since finding out I've been breaking the yoke to cook it just to be on the safe side. I may just start doing scrambled.

They make pasteurized eggs.

I eat over-easy eggs every weekend for breakfast.  It's the only way I like them, and I crave them.  I have always loved them this way, and right now so many foods disagree with me, I'm just glad I can at least still stomach one of my favorites.  I guess it's a personal choice.

Oh no! I had these for breakfast this morning, and was thinking of it while eating them... crap! I can do cooked yokes for my LO.

If the eggs are pasteurized, I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just make sure that the whites are completely cooked. Or go for over medium so they cook a little longer but you still get some runny yoke.

My dr said not to take any chances, eat them scrambled or hard boiled.
