Ingredients

2 Large eggs
4 cups Water
6 pieces Saltine crackers
0.25 teaspoons Salt
0.125 teaspoons Pepper (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Fill a small saucepan with 4 cups of water and bring it to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.

Step 2

Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water using a spoon to avoid cracking. Set a timer for 6 minutes for soft yolks or 7 minutes for slightly firmer yolks.

Step 3

While the eggs are cooking, arrange the saltine crackers on a plate and set aside.

Step 4

Once the timer is up, immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for 1-2 minutes.

Step 5

Peel the eggs gently, starting at the broader end where the air pocket is. The shell should come off easily.

Step 6

Place the peeled eggs on a small dish, and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 7

Serve the soft-boiled eggs immediately with the saltine crackers for scooping or dipping into the soft yolk. Enjoy!
