Egg Recipe
Description
Master the art of the perfect soft-boiled egg with this straightforward method. These eggs feature a tender white and a luxuriously creamy, runny yolk that serves as a natural sauce for toast soldiers or ramen bowls. Ideal for a quick breakfast, a light lunch, or a comforting dinner side dish, this recipe relies on precise timing rather than complex ingredients. Whether you prefer your eggs slightly firmer or fully liquid, adjusting the boil time allows you to customize the texture to your liking. It is a staple technique for home cooks seeking consistency and flavor without unnecessary fuss.Ingredients
Directions
-
Fill a medium saucepan with enough water to cover the eggs by about an inch and bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
-
Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water using a slotted spoon to prevent cracking.
-
Reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook for 6 minutes for soft-boiled eggs.
-
While eggs cook, prepare an ice bath by filling a bowl with cold water and ice cubes.
-
Once the timer goes off, carefully remove the eggs from the water and transfer them immediately to the ice bath.
-
Let the eggs cool in the ice bath for at least 2 minutes to stop the cooking process.
-
Tap the top and bottom of each egg gently on the counter to crack the shell, then peel under running water if desired.
-
Serve immediately with toast, salt, and pepper.
