Step-by-Step Process

Recently, I have been drawn to soft-boiled eggs over my usual scrambled egg for the honest and simple reason that I then avoid having to clean an egg pan. However, soft-boiled eggs come with their own challenges. They can be very difficult to perfect consistently, but I think these steps are the fail-safe to the perfect soft-boiled egg.

STEP 1:

Bring a small pot of water to a boil.

STEP 2:

Carefully place eggs in boiling water slowly with a spoon. Leave in boiling water for just over 7 minutes. Set a timer and be very cautious of the time.

STEP 3:

While the eggs are boiling, prep an ice bath. Fill a bowl with ice cubes and some water. Place near stove.

STEP 4:

After just over 7 minutes has past, remove pot from heat. Carefully transfer eggs with a spoon and place immediately in the ice bath. Leave the eggs in the ice bath until they are have cooled (about 3 minutes).

STEP 5:

Once cooled, tap the egg gently with a spoon lengthwise fully around the egg. Carefully peel the shell over the ice bath. Dip back in ice bath and gently rub to remove any excess shell.

Serve with your favorite breakfast sides or dishes and enjoy!
