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.
  2. Add salt.
  3. Bring the water to a gentle boil.
  4. Using a slotted spoon, lower the egg(s) into the boiling water.
  5. Simmer the egg(s) for exactly 5 minutes.

  1. Remove the eggs with the slotted spoon and place them in a bowl filled with ice water.
  2. Let them sit in the ice water for 5-10 minutes.
  3. 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.

How To Serve Soft-Boiled Eggs

  • Serve with toast or toast strips. Dipping toast into creamy soft-boiled eggs is amazing.
  • Serve on a salad for brunch or dinner.
  • Serve in a noodle bowl for extra creaminess.
