Recipe: Soft boiled eggs

I don't have soft boiled eggs very often. That's why I called my mommy.

OK, let's go:
Boil some water. Take a pin and prick a little hole in your eggshell (at the rounder side). Now you carfully put the eggs into the boiling water. Wait for five minutes and get your eggs out of the water: Soft boiled eggs.

Tip: If you need several eggs, take a dishtowel and wrap your eggs. Now you can put all eggs into the water at one time. Thus your eggs will be boiled perfectly.

# 1  Fledi The tip with the hole in the eggshell is pretty cool. I never did that. But will try. I always put the egg into the cold water and let it get slow worming up untill boiling. Than 3 more minutes...and there is the perfect soft boiled egg.

# 3  frencheric69 forget the pinprick it makes a mess. Boil the water, put in the egg, leave for 1 minute then take the pan off the heat but leave the egg/s in for a further 5 mins.. Perfect every time....
