This is the easiest recipe for soft-boiled eggs. Anyone who loves eggs should give these a try. They are similar to hard-boiled eggs except that the yolk is runny instead of hard.
Now take your slotted spoon and carefully lower the eggs into the water one at a time. Once the water starts to boil again, set the timer for 6 minutes for soft-boiled eggs.
Take the eggs out of the pan and place them in a strainer while you dump out the hot water. Now fill the pan with cold water and place the eggs back in the pan.
