Ingredients
- 2 to 4 large eggs
- Sea salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Fill a medium pot with enough water to cover the eggs and heat it until it reaches a gentle simmer, just below boiling.
- Using a slotted spoon, carefully lower the eggs into the simmering water. Cook for 7 minutes for soft-boiled eggs with set whites and runny yolks, or 6 minutes if you prefer them even runnier.
- While the eggs are cooking, prepare a bowl of ice water. Once the eggs are done, promptly transfer them to the ice water to stop the cooking process.
- After chilling for a couple of minutes, gently tap the bottom of each egg to crack the shell slightly. Then, use a small spoon to carefully peel the egg, starting from the cracked bottom.
- Season the soft boiled eggs with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your taste preferences.
