Soft Boil an Egg
OK, I prefer my eggs hard boiled. I think that for most recipes you need hard boiled eggs. But, there are a lot of people, including my father, who prefer a soft boiled egg. Now since the egg is inside the shell it can be quite difficult to tell when it is soft cooked or hard boiled just by looking at the outside. So, here is a sure fire way to get soft boiled eggs every time you need some.
Instructions
1. Place your eggs in a pan and add enough COLD water to cover up the eggs.
2. Turn the stove on High and get the eggs boiling. As soon as they begin to boil, reduce the heat of your stove down to simmering.
3. Cook your eggs for 4 minutes and then drain all of the water out of the pan.
4. Then, fill the pan with the eggs full of cold water just until they are cool enough where you won't burn your hands holding them.
5. Cut the egg in half and use a spoon to scoop the egg out into the dish or cut off the top of the egg and serve it in an egg cup. My dad likes his with toast or a biscuit that he can "dip" into the egg.
