A traditional soft-boiled egg cooked in its shell to achieve a runny yolk and a soft, set white. This simple method, a classic of breakfast tables, holds the secret to getting that perfect runny yolk with just the right timing.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Boil the water

3 min

Boil enough water in a pot to cover the eggs. Once it reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat to medium.

2

Boil the eggs

6 min

Gently lower room-temperature eggs into the boiling water using a spoon. Boil for exactly 6 minutes for a soft-boiled consistency; be sure to track the time.

3

Cool in cold water and serve

1 min

Caution: As soon as the time is up, transfer the eggs immediately into cold water to stop the cooking. Cut off the tops, sprinkle with salt, and serve in egg cups.

Reminder

Important: For a soft-boiled consistency, add the egg to boiling water at room temperature and keep it in for exactly 6 minutes; a cold egg may crack. Caution: Once the time is up, transfer the egg to cold water right away, or it will keep cooking from residual heat and the yolk will firm up. Contains egg.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

You can adjust the yolk's runniness to your preference: 5 minutes gives a runnier yolk, 7 minutes a firmer one. Serving the egg in an egg cup with the top cut off, alongside warm bread soldiers, is the most classic presentation.

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.
