Ingredients

  • eggs see notes

Instructions

  • Fill a saucepan with 1 to 2 inches of water (about 4 cups). Cover and bring to a boil.
  • Keep your eggs in the refrigerater until the water is boiling.
  • Once boiling, use a slotted spoon to carefully lower the cold egg or eggs into the boiling water. Cover and set a timer for 6 minutes for a runny yolk. 6-1/2 to 7 minutes for a more jammy yolk.
  • When the timer is up, carefully transfer the eggs to a colander set into your sink and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
  • Serve with toast, or with ramen or in soup and on salads.

Notes

If making several soft boiled eggs at once, I try to pick eggs that are similar in size to ensure they come out with the same results.
