Soft Boiled Eggs Recipe.

Ingredients:

2 to 4 large eggs*
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Recipe Instructions:

Fill a medium pot with water and heat to a gentle simmer, just below boiling.
Using a slotted spoon, carefully lower the eggs into the water and let simmer for 7 minutes (6 minutes for a runnier egg).
Set a bowl of ice water nearby.
Remove and chill immediately in the ice water for a minute or two until the eggs are cool enough to handle.
Tap the bottom of each egg to crack off a little bit of the shell.
Take a small spoon and carefully slide it in and around the egg to loosen and remove it from the shell.
This takes a little bit of practice to get exactly right.
If your first eggs aren't perfect, it's ok.
They'll still be delicious! Season eggs with salt and pepper, to taste.
