How do you make soft boilded eggs?

How to Make Soft-Boiled Eggs:

You'll need:

* Eggs

* Cold water

* Pot

Instructions:

1. Start with cold water: Fill the pot with enough cold water to cover the eggs by about an inch.

2. Add the eggs: Gently place the eggs into the pot. Don't crowd them, leave some space between each egg.

3. Bring the water to a boil: Place the pot on the stovetop and bring the water to a rolling boil.

4. Reduce heat and simmer: Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for the desired time.

* For runny yolks: Simmer for 3-4 minutes.

* For slightly set yolks: Simmer for 5-6 minutes.

* For more set yolks: Simmer for 7-8 minutes.

5. Transfer to an ice bath: Immediately drain the hot water from the pot and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water. This stops the cooking process and makes the eggs easier to peel.

6. Peel and enjoy: After 5-10 minutes in the ice bath, peel the eggs. Enjoy your soft-boiled eggs!

Tips:

* Use fresh eggs: Fresh eggs peel easier.

* Add a pinch of salt: This helps to prevent the eggs from cracking.

* Don't overcook: Overcooked eggs will have a rubbery yolk.

* Peel carefully: Be gentle when peeling to avoid breaking the yolk.

* Serve with salt, pepper, and your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include toast soldiers, chives, and chopped bacon.
