Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- as needed Water
- as needed Ice
Instructions
Fill a medium saucepan with water, ensuring there is enough to completely cover the eggs, and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat.
Once the water is boiling, carefully lower the eggs into the water using a slotted spoon. Make sure to not overcrowd the pan.
Reduce the heat slightly to maintain a gentle boil and set a timer for exactly 6 and a half minutes for soft-boiled eggs.
While the eggs are cooking, prepare an ice bath. Fill a large bowl with ice cubes and cold water.
When the cooking time is complete, immediately transfer the eggs to the ice bath using the slotted spoon to stop further cooking and make peeling easier.
Let the eggs sit in the ice bath for at least 1-2 minutes, until they are cool enough to handle.
Gently tap the eggs on a hard surface to crack the shell, and then peel them carefully under running water to help remove the shell.
Serve the soft-boiled eggs immediately while warm, or refrigerate for later use.
