How Do You Make A Perfectly Soft Boiled Egg?
As gourmet as can be. Solid whites outside, and a delicate soft-yellow yolk within. The uses for eggs are endless, and this is a testament to the marriage of hard boiling and poaching Fill a small saucepan two-thirds full with water. Smaller pots are better since the temperature can be controlled my steadily. Bring to a boil, and lower the heat to a gentle simmer. The water will appear to be slightly boiling, but the bubbles should not actually be breaking the surface. Softly lower the egg into the water with a spoon that has holes in it. Don’t drop the egg in the pot, or it might crack. Set a timer for 4 minutes approximately depending on how cold the egg is. After the time is up, remove the egg with the same type of spoon. Wait a moment for the water to run off, and slice the top of the egg with a knife. The yolk will be runny, and the egg will be ready to enjoy.
