Find out how to cook soft-boil eggs in an ideal way! Sprinkle salt over them and eat them on their own, or add them to toast or grain bowls.

Perfectly cooked soft-boiled eggs have an intoxicating flavor- runny yolk and delicate white. To my mind, making it is a skill that everyone should possess.

It only takes a few minutes, only needs one ingredient, and can easily be done to practically anything to add protein and good fats. To make a meal out of a slice of toast or complete a salad, use these items. Put a soft-boiled egg on it.

Here is how I soft boil an egg, and it’s completely foolproof. Soft-boiled eggs with properly cooked whites and gooey, jammy yolks are the result. My kitchen always has this easy dish on hand. You’ll have it in yours after you give it a try!

MAKING SOFT-BOILED EGGS

There is no easier way to cook boiled eggs than using my technique! This is how it works:

Heat the water first. Over high heat, bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. So that the water continues to gently boil, lower the heat to medium.

Add the eggs next. Carefully place the eggs into the simmering water using a slotted spoon. Set the alarm for seven minutes.

Prepare the ice bath while the eggs are cooking. A good amount of ice and cold water should be added to a large bowl. Take the eggs out of the boiling water when the timer goes off, and place them right away in the ice bath. Give them at least three minutes to chill.

Peel the eggs last. To remove some of the shells from a soft-boiled egg, tap the bottom of the egg. To loosen and remove the egg’s shell, carefully slip a small spoon between the egg and its shell and then around the egg.

I adore this simple technique for soft-boiled egg peeling, but it can take some practice to get it just right. You can alternatively choose to peel the eggs by hand as I do in my recipe for hard-boiled eggs.

With the remaining eggs, repeat the peeling procedure, then eat!

TIPS FOR MAKING PERFECT SOFT-BOILED EGGS

• Prepare them however you like. The fact that my idea of the ideal soft-boiled egg may differ from yours is acceptable. It all depends on how thick the yolk is. My preferred consistency for mine is gooey and jammy, with some runny and some starting to firm. I cook mine for 7 minutes to get this texture. Cook your eggs for 6 1/2 minutes if you prefer runnier yolks.
• Observe the water. Have you ever boiled eggs in water that was quickly boiling? (I have.) Did they falter? They did ( Make sure the water in this recipe stays at a mild boil. The mixture should bubble, but not so vigorously that the eggs bounce. The shells will crack against the pot’s bottom if the water boils too quickly.
• Avoid avoiding the ice bath. It might be tempting to omit the ice bath from this recipe in the interest of convenience. But rest assured that if it weren’t required, I wouldn’t ask you to do this step. The eggs’ crave-worthy runny yolks are retained thanks to the cold bath, which also makes them much simpler to peel. It’s quite simple and well worth it.

IDEAS FOR SERVING SOFT-BOILED EGGS

A delicious soft-boiled egg can be enjoyed in a variety of ways! Don’t bother peeling it if you’re feeling fancy. Instead, place it in an egg cup and then crack the egg’s shell with a spoon to take off the top part of the egg.

Eat it straight from the shell and season it with salt & pepper, everything bagel seasoning, or za’atar.

Larger dishes taste fantastic with a soft-boiled egg on top, too. One goes especially well with grain bowls like my Power Bowl or Farmers Market Breakfast Bowl and avocado toast. Attempt these recipes or enjoy making your own bowl using these ingredients:

• a soft-boiled egg It will increase protein and richness.
• one grain Consider grains like wheat berries, quinoa, farro, or white, brown, or black rice.
• Veggies. Whatever you want! Try sautéed mushrooms, roasted vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, butternut squash, sweet potatoes, Brussels sprouts, and asparagus, as well as fresh greens.
• also a spicy sauce. Use a sesame ginger dressing, gochujang sauce, peanut sauce, homemade Italian dressing, or lemon vinaigrette to bring everything together.
