Perfect Soft Boiled Eggs
Level: Easy |
Total Time: 45 min |
Yield: 6 servings |
My wife has a perfect ability to cook eggs, she found that 6 minutes in boiling water was too undercooked 8 minutes was too much, and 7 was just the perfect balance. The ice bath is important because you don’t want the eggs to be too solid either, so only 3 minutes max is perfect.
