medium pot
medium bowl for ice bath
Ingredients
Eggs, cold from the refrigerator
Water, for cooking
Ice Water, for an ice bath
Instructions
Bring enough water to cover eggs to a boil in a pot.
- Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water using a spoon, ladle, or tongs. Be sure to do this gently to avoid cracking the eggs.
- Once the eggs are in the water, start your timer. For a soft boiled egg with a runny yolk, you’ll want to cook the eggs for about 6 minutes. If you prefer a yolk that is still soft but not runny, aim for about 7 to 8 minutes.
- Once the timer goes off, quickly use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove the eggs from the boiling water.
- Immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. The ice water will stop the cooking process and cool the eggs down for handling and peeling.
- Let the eggs sit a few minutes before you peel them.
