Soft Boiled Egg Recipes

Steps:

• Fill a medium sized saucepan with water and bring to a rolling boil.
• Make sure your eggs aren't fridge cold. By having the eggs at room temperature, it will be less of a shock for the egg reaching the hot water and therefore less likely to crack. You can also use an egg pricker to make a very small hole in each egg before boiling, which will also reduce the chances of it cracking in the heat. Slowly lower the eggs into the water using a spoon.
• Set your timer for 4-5 mins for runny/dippy eggs to serve with soldiers, or 6-7 mins for soft-boiled eggs for a salad. If serving in a salad, plunge the eggs into a bowl of cold water as soon as the timer goes off - this will stop them cooking and cool the shells quickly for peeling.

Steps:

• Place (cold) egg carefully into a small saucepan of boiling water and cook for 4 1/2 to 5 minutes.
• To serve in the shell, quickly crack at wider end with a knife, and remove top. To serve out of the shell, hold egg over a small bowl, tap around center with a knife, and gently pull shell apart; then scoop egg out with spoon.

Steps:

• Place eggs in a saucepan large enough to accommodate them in a single layer. Fill the pan with cold water, covering eggs by an inch. Set over medium-high heat, and bring to a boil. Turn off heat, cover, and let stand 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Remove eggs from water. Serve immediately in egg cups -- perfect for cracking and scooping the egg right from the shell. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• In a medium-size saucepan, bring 3 inches water to a boil. Add egg, cover, and remove pan from heat. Let stand 5 to 6 minutes. To serve, crack one end of egg and peel off some shell, then scoop out egg with a spoon.

Steps:

• Bring the water to a rapid boil.
• add saltand keep it at a rapid boil.
• Prick the bottom (wider end) of the egg with an egg pricker
• Immerse in the boiling water and boil for exactly 5 minutes.
• Dash in cold water, crack & enjoy.

Steps:

• Place the eggs a large saucepan and cover them with cool tap water. Bring the water to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 3 minutes.
• Remove the eggs from the saucepan and immediately place them in a bowl of cold water until they are completely cool.
• Remove the shells, slice each egg in half lengthwise, sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve.

Steps:

• Place water into a 3-quart saucepan with a lid. Place over high heat and bring to a low boil. Carefully place the eggs in the water. Cover pan immediately, reduce heat to medium-high, and cook for 9 1/2 minutes. Remove pan from heat and cool eggs down with cold running water, tipping out the water, and continuing to run cold water over the eggs until they are cool.
