Here’s how to make the perfect soft boiled egg in seven minutes using ice water.
- Grab your eggs.
- Fill a pot with water, put it on high heat, and bring it to a boil.
- While waiting, fill a bowl with ice and water. Set it aside.
- Once the water is boiling, gently add the eggs.
- Start a timer for 7 minutes.
- When 7 minutes are up, transfer the eggs into the ice water bowl.
- Let them sit for a couple of minutes before peeling.
(Optional) Make peeling fun - see how big of shell pieces you can get.
- After peeling, put the eggs back into the ice water for a few more minutes.
*This helps them firm up slightly while keeping the yolk soft but not runny. - Sprinkle with sea salt flakes and enjoy with whatever you like.
Enjoy.
