Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1 liter water
- 1 bowl ice
Directions
Step 1
Fill a medium-sized pot with 1 liter of water and bring it to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Carefully lower the 4 large eggs into the boiling water using a slotted spoon to prevent them from cracking.
Step 3
Allow the eggs to boil for exactly 6 to 7 minutes, depending on your preferred yolk consistency: 6 minutes for a runnier yolk and 7 minutes for slightly firmer yolk centers.
Step 4
While the eggs are boiling, prepare a bowl of ice water by filling a bowl with ice and cold water.
Step 5
Once the desired cooking time is reached, immediately transfer the eggs to the ice water bath using the slotted spoon. This stops the cooking process and helps with easier peeling.
Step 6
Let the eggs cool in the ice water bath for at least 5 minutes.
Step 7
Gently tap the cooled eggs on a countertop to crack the shells and peel them carefully, starting from the larger end where there is typically a small air pocket.
Step 8
Serve the soft boiled eggs warm or cool, as desired.
