Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 12 pieces Ice cubes
- 0 as needed Water
Directions
Step 1
Fill a saucepan with enough water to cover the eggs by about an inch and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water.
Step 2
Once the water reaches a boil, carefully lower the eggs into the water using a slotted spoon, being cautious to avoid any cracks.
Step 3
Immediately reduce the heat to medium-low to maintain a gentle simmer and cook the eggs for exactly 6 and a half minutes for a soft, runny yolk. For slightly firmer yolks, you may extend the cooking time to 7 minutes.
Step 4
While the eggs are cooking, prepare a bowl of ice water using the ice cubes and enough water to cover the eggs completely. This will stop the cooking process quickly and make peeling easier.
Step 5
After the cooking time, use the slotted spoon to transfer the eggs directly into the bowl of ice water. Allow them to cool for at least 3 minutes.
Step 6
Gently tap the eggs on a hard surface to crack the shell and carefully peel them under running water to remove the shell without breaking the egg.
Step 7
Serve the soft boiled eggs immediately as they are, or season with salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
