The recipes for Caesar salad often say the egg should be coddled by 
boiling in the shell for one minute.  The point is to kill any 
bacteria that is on the shell before using the nearly raw egg.

Wikipedia says "In cooking, coddled eggs are lightly cooked eggs. 
They differ from poached eggs in that they are very gently cooked, in 
water that is just below boiling point."
