**A quick guide to making the perfect soft boiled egg. **
(no runny stuff oozing out)
Fill a sauce pot with just enough to cover the eggs...
We will be using eggs fresh from the fridge (this matters).
Bring to a rolling boil...
Slowly lower eggs into the boiling water with a spoon...
Set your timer for 7 minutes (try 6m 30s for slightly softer/runnier eggs)
- This is a good time to make your toast-
When the timer rings, immediately run cold water into the pan until the eggs are cool enough to shell.
Remove shell...
Top with salt, fresh ground pepper and a dash of cayenne if you like a little spice.
