student asking question

It seems like it should be "for soft boiled eggs" with plural eggs. But did he forget to speak "s" at the end?

Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

He says "egg" because he is referring to "egg" as a general food. However, it would make more sense for him to say "soft boiled eggs". In this context, most native English speakers would say "eggs".
