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.
