Ingredients

• 4 pieces Large eggs
• 1 liter Water
• 12 pieces Ice cubes

Directions

Step 1

Fill a medium saucepan with 1 liter of water and place it over high heat.

Step 2

Bring the water to a rolling boil.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium to maintain a gentle boil.

Step 4

Using a slotted spoon, carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water one at a time.

Step 5

Boil the eggs for 6 to 7 minutes, depending on your preference for yolk consistency. For a very soft yolk, aim for 6 minutes, whereas 7 minutes gives a slightly firmer yolk.

Step 6

Prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with water and adding at least 12 ice cubes.

Step 7

Once the eggs have finished boiling, quickly transfer them to the ice bath using the slotted spoon.

Step 8

Let the eggs sit in the ice bath for at least 2 minutes to stop the cooking process and to facilitate easier peeling.

Step 9

Gently crack the eggs all over and peel, starting from the wider end where there is usually an air pocket, under running water to make the peeling process easier.

Step 10

Serve the soft boiled eggs immediately, or store in the refrigerator and peel just before eating.
