BOILED
1 egg
water
Fill a small saucepan three-quarters full with water and bring to a boil.
Using a spoon, gently slide in the egg and set your timer.
Keep an eye on the water while the egg cooks, and try to maintain a soft boil.
For a soft-boiled egg with set whites and a liquid yolk set for six minutes.
For a perfectly hard-boiled egg with a slightly soft center set for nine minutes.
For a completely cooked through yolk set for ten minutes.
When the timer goes off, remove the egg to an ice water bath for one minute to stop the cooking.
Crack, peel, and enjoy.
