Traditional soft-boiled eggs with tender whites and runny yolks, cooked in their shells. A breakfast classic, this simple method uses precise timing for a perfectly soft yolk.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Bring the water to a boil

3 min

Bring enough water to cover the eggs to a boil in a pot. Once it is boiling vigorously, reduce the heat to medium.

2

Boil the eggs

6 min

Gently lower the room-temperature eggs into the boiling water with a spoon. For soft-boiled eggs, cook for exactly 6 minutes; keep track of the time.

3

Transfer to cold water and serve

1 min

Immediately transfer the eggs to cold water when the time is up to stop the cooking. Cut off the tops, sprinkle with salt, and serve in egg cups.

Reminder

For a soft-boiled texture, add room-temperature eggs to boiling water and cook for exactly 6 minutes; cold eggs may crack. Immediately transfer the eggs to cold water when the time is up, or residual heat will continue cooking them and firm up the yolks. Contains eggs. Allergen note: The ingredient list includes eggs. Check packaged product labels for other allergens.

Pişirme süresi fırın tipine göre değişir mi? Dondurucuda saklanabilir mi, yoksa taze mi tüketilmeli? Vegan bir versiyonu var mı, tereyağı yerine ne kullanılabilir?

Ocak ayarını orta-kısıkta tutunca yanma olmadı.

Tarif güzel ama anlatım biraz karışık geldi, adımlar netleştirilebilir.
