When I want a soft boiled egg I want the yolk soft and the white firm. The boiling time has a lot to do with your elevation. 5 minutes is perfect for an elevation of 1100 ft (330 meters) if you are nearer sea level decrease the boiling time if at a higher elevation increase the time. Invest in an egg pricker, a little tool that will prick a small hole in the bottom of the egg allowing the air to escape, preventing the egg from cracking as it boils.
Ingredients:
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon salt
6 cups water
Directions:
1. Bring the water to a rapid boil.
2. add saltand keep it at a rapid boil.
3. Prick the bottom (wider end) of the egg with an egg pricker
4. Immerse in the boiling water and boil for exactly 5 minutes.
5. Dash in cold water, crack & enjoy.
