Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Large eggs
- 1 liter Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 10 pieces Ice cubes
Instructions
Fill a medium saucepan with 1 liter of water and add 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.
Once the water is boiling, carefully and gently lower the 4 large eggs into the water using a slotted spoon to prevent them from cracking.
Set a timer for 6 minutes for perfect soft-boiled eggs with runny yolks. Adjust the timing slightly if you want firmer or runnier yolks.
While the eggs are cooking, prepare an ice bath by filling a medium bowl with cold water and adding about 10 ice cubes.
After 6 minutes, promptly remove the eggs from the boiling water using the slotted spoon and transfer them to the ice bath. Let the eggs cool for at least 5 minutes to stop the cooking process.
Once the eggs are cool enough to handle, gently tap them on a hard surface to crack the shells and peel them carefully.
Serve the soft boiled eggs immediately while warm, seasoned with salt and pepper if desired, or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for later use.
