Ingredients
- 6 pieces Large eggs
- 2 liters Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt (optional)
- 500 grams Ice
Directions
Step 1
Fill a medium saucepan with 2 liters of water and add a pinch of salt if desired. Bring it to a rolling boil over high heat.
Step 2
Carefully lower the 6 large eggs into the boiling water using a slotted spoon to prevent them from cracking.
Step 3
Allow the eggs to boil for 6 minutes for a perfectly soft and runny yolk.
Step 4
While the eggs are boiling, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with 500 grams of ice and enough cold water to cover the ice.
Step 5
Once the eggs have reached the 6-minute mark, immediately transfer them using a slotted spoon to the ice bath to stop the cooking process.
Step 6
Let the eggs sit in the ice bath for at least 5 minutes, ensuring they are cool to the touch.
Step 7
Gently crack the shells and peel the eggs. For best results, start peeling from the wider end of the egg where the air sac is located.
Step 8
Serve immediately, seasoning with salt and pepper if desired, or store in the fridge for up to 2 days for future meals.
