Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 1 tsp Salt
- 4 cups Cold water
Directions
Step 1
1. Begin by filling a medium-sized pot with 4 cups of cold water.
Step 2
2. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water to help prevent the eggs from cracking during cooking.
Step 3
3. Gently place 4 large eggs in the pot. Ensure that the eggs are completely submerged in water.
Step 4
4. Cover the pot with a lid and bring the water to a rapid boil over high heat.
Step 5
5. Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-high and let the eggs cook for exactly 6 minutes for slightly runny yolks. Adjust time slightly shorter for more runny yolks.
Step 6
6. While the eggs are cooking, prepare an ice bath by filling a bowl with ice cubes and cold water.
Step 7
7. After 6 minutes, use a slotted spoon to carefully transfer the eggs to the ice bath. Allow eggs to sit in the ice bath for at least 3 minutes to stop the cooking process.
Step 8
8. Gently tap the eggs to crack the shells and start peeling. Run under cold water if needed to help peel.
Step 9
9. Serve the soft-boiled eggs immediately for best taste. Enjoy as-is or with a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
