Soft boiled eggs

Similar to the hard boiled eggs, a soft boiled egg is done better using days old eggs. Not many people can do the perfect soft boiled eggs. It takes practice and patience so here goes.

The saucepan will depend on the amount of eggs you are doing. I don't recommend doing more than three eggs at a time for this. Pour about three inches of water in the saucepan. On high flames put water to boil. When water is bubbling, use a spoon to lower cold refrigerated eggs into the water. The water should be fiercely boiling when you are doing this. Be careful when lowering the eggs that they do not crack.

Let the eggs boil for two minutes then turn the eggs on the opposite side using the spoon. Cook for another two to three minutes. Turn off flames and remove from hot water immediately. Place the egg in the egg holder and crack the rounded part with a spoon, remove the shell and make a hole. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve.

This is great with toast and grated cheese and as a protein snack.
