Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Egg
- 4 cups Water
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoons Olive oil
- 0.125 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Fill a small saucepan with 4 cups of water and add 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Place it on the stove over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
Carefully lower the large egg into the boiling water using a spoon to avoid cracking.
Set a timer for 7 minutes for a slightly soft yolk. Adjust to 9 minutes for a fully hard-boiled egg if desired.
While the egg is cooking, prepare the bowl by adding 1 teaspoon of olive oil, a pinch of black pepper, and any additional seasoning preferences.
After the timer goes off, remove the egg from the boiling water using a spoon and immediately place it in a bowl of ice water. Let it cool for about 2 minutes to stop the cooking process.
Gently tap the egg all over to crack the shell, and then peel it carefully under running water if needed.
Place the peeled egg in the prepared bowl. Slice it in half or keep it whole as per your preference.
Garnish with 1 teaspoon of freshly chopped parsley and an extra drizzle of olive oil if desired. Serve warm.
