So I know that this is something that sounds very common and is easily done. But I’ve found that the perfect soft boiled egg can sometimes be tricky. Do you boil the water first? With the egg? How long? All the little steps that get lost in the plethora of recipes out there. I thought I would post my “recipe” so that I remember next time.
Please note that I’m at sea level and the cooking time may change for you, depending on sea elevation. I cooked the egg so the white was JUST cooked and left my entire yolk soft.
SOFT BOILED EGGS
Ingredients
- Egg
- Water
Instructions
- Bring enough water to cover your eggs to a boil
- Gently place your eggs in with spoon
- Boil for 5 min, 30 seconds
- I like to crack the top off mine, sprinkle with S&P and a let a tiny dollop of butter melt (for each bite). Serve with toast if preferred 😉
