Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 4 cups Water
- 1 tray Ice cubes
Directions
Step 1
1. Take a medium-sized saucepan and fill it with 4 cups of water. Place the pot on the stove over high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil.
Step 2
2. While waiting for the water to boil, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with cold water and add a tray of ice cubes to create an ice bath. This will stop further cooking after boiling.
Step 3
3. Once the water is boiling, carefully lower the 4 large eggs into the boiling water using a slotted spoon. Make sure not to crack the eggs during this process.
Step 4
4. Set a timer for 6 and a half minutes for soft-boiled eggs with runny yolks and slightly firm whites. Adjust accordingly by adding a minute if you prefer the yolks a bit firmer.
Step 5
5. While the eggs are boiling, gently swirl the water with a spoon during the first minute to help center the yolks.
Step 6
6. After the timer dings, immediately transfer the eggs to the ice bath to prevent further cooking. Let them sit in the ice bath for about 2 minutes.
Step 7
7. Carefully crack the eggs and peel them under running water. The shells should come off easily due to the ice bath.
Step 8
8. Serve immediately as desired. Soft-boiled eggs are excellent over toast, as part of a breakfast spread, or as a topping on a warm bowl of soup or salad.
