Perfect Soft-Boiled Eggs

Do you love soft-boiled eggs but struggle with cooking them? You’re not alone! Many people find soft-boiled eggs challenging to make. However, with a few simple steps, you can master cooking this delicious breakfast delight easily.

Why We Love Soft-Boiled Eggs

I find soft-boiled eggs have much more flavor than hard-boiled eggs. The whites of these eggs are slightly firm while the warm egg yolk stays creamy and smooth.

They are the perfect addition to a noodle bowl or a salad. Try dipping buttered toast into soft-boiled eggs for a delicious breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

• Eggs
• Water
• 1 tbsp Salt

Let’s Make Perfect Soft-Boiled Eggs

1. Fill a medium pot with cool water.

8. When the eggs are cool enough to handle, carefully crack the shell and peel the egg(s).

How To Peel Soft-Boiled Eggs

Peeling soft-boiled eggs can be tricky. Make sure they are cool enough to handle. Roll the egg on the counter pressing slightly pressing on it to crack the shell. 

Carefully peel back the shell and the internal membrane.
