Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Large eggs
- 2 liters Water
- 1 teaspoon Salt (optional)
- 500 grams Ice
Instructions
Fill a medium saucepan with 2 liters of water and add a pinch of salt if desired. Bring it to a rolling boil over high heat.
Carefully lower the 6 large eggs into the boiling water using a slotted spoon to prevent them from cracking.
Allow the eggs to boil for 6 minutes for a perfectly soft and runny yolk.
While the eggs are boiling, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with 500 grams of ice and enough cold water to cover the ice.
Once the eggs have reached the 6-minute mark, immediately transfer them using a slotted spoon to the ice bath to stop the cooking process.
Let the eggs sit in the ice bath for at least 5 minutes, ensuring they are cool to the touch.
Gently crack the shells and peel the eggs. For best results, start peeling from the wider end of the egg where the air sac is located.
Serve immediately, seasoning with salt and pepper if desired, or store in the fridge for up to 2 days for future meals.
