Can a 1-year-old eat soft-boiled eggs?

From 1 year on, babies can generally eat soft-boiled (lightly cooked) eggs. Undercooked egg whites and yolks (runny consistency) aren't recommended for babies until they're fully cooked and firm—not because of Salmonella risk (that risk exists at any age) but because undercooked egg whites can be harder to digest.
In practice, many families switch to soft-boiled eggs around 1 year. The safe middle ground: the white should be fully firm but the yolk can be slightly runny. If your baby has tolerated eggs well before (no allergies), the transition to soft-boiled poses no special risk.
Short answer: yes, they can eat it—but ideally with firm whites and a partially set yolk.
