Nice one! It happened to me too. On the other hand, throwing the eggs into the water might crack them, so I put the eggs, then water, then bring it to a boil for just a minute. I turn off the heat and allow it to simmer (continue cooking) for 5 minutes to save gas. I end up with solid whites and oozy yolks. I love just them! If you want a solid yolk, boil them for 5 minutes and simmer for at least another 5 mins.
