Instructions

  1. Fill a medium-sized cooking pot with enough water to cover the eggs and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover the pot with its lid.
  2. Once boiling, remove the lid, turn off the heat, and gently lower the eggs into the water using a large spoon. Close the lid and set a timer for your desired egg consistency, as outlined in the recipe tips.
  3. Prepare a large bowl with room-temperature water. As soon as the timer sounds, move the eggs from the pot to the bowl.
  4. To serve, crack the eggs into your chosen serving dish, be it a bowl or a shot glass.
  5. Season the eggs with white pepper and a few drops of Maggi seasoning sauce to taste. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Use the nutrition card in this recipe as a guideline.
  • Cook for 6 minutes: Egg-whites barely firm, with a milky structure.
  • Cook for 8 minutes: A little more firm, pudding-like structure.
  • Cook for 10 minutes: A firmer structure, almost like Western soft-boiled eggs. (Recommended for children.)
