Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 Large eggs
- 4 cups Water
- 6 pieces Saltine crackers
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.125 teaspoons Pepper (optional)
Instructions
Fill a small saucepan with 4 cups of water and bring it to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water using a spoon to avoid cracking. Set a timer for 6 minutes for soft yolks or 7 minutes for slightly firmer yolks.
While the eggs are cooking, arrange the saltine crackers on a plate and set aside.
Once the timer is up, immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for 1-2 minutes.
Peel the eggs gently, starting at the broader end where the air pocket is. The shell should come off easily.
Place the peeled eggs on a small dish, and sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the soft-boiled eggs immediately with the saltine crackers for scooping or dipping into the soft yolk. Enjoy!
