Instructions

  1. Fill a medium pot with enough water to cover the eggs and heat it until it reaches a gentle simmer, just below boiling.
  2. Using a slotted spoon, carefully lower the eggs into the simmering water. Cook for 7 minutes for soft-boiled eggs with set whites and jammy yolks, or 6 minutes if you prefer them runnier.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Season the soft-boiled eggs with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your preferences.
