How to Boil the Perfect Egg – My Dad’s Foolproof Method 🥚✨

Boiling an egg might seem simple, but getting the perfect texture every time is an art. Thanks to my dad, I’ve mastered the ideal soft-boiled egg – with a firm white and a beautifully runny yolk. Here’s the step-by-step method that never fails!

🥚 What You’ll Need:

✔ Fresh eggs (as many as you need)
✔ A saucepan
✔ Cold water
✔ A timer
✔ A bowl of ice water

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Method:

1️⃣ Start with cool water: Place your eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cool water. Make sure there’s enough water to fully submerge the eggs.

2️⃣ Bring to a boil: Put the saucepan on medium-high heat and wait until the water reaches a rolling boil.

3️⃣ Set your timer: As soon as the water starts to boil, set a timer for 3 minutes (for soft-boiled eggs). If you prefer medium-boiled, go for 5–6 minutes.

4️⃣ Cold water bath: Once the timer goes off, immediately transfer the eggs into a bowl of ice-cold water. This stops the cooking process and makes peeling much easier.

5️⃣ Let them rest: Leave the eggs in the cold water for a few minutes, then peel and enjoy!

💡 Why This Method Works:

✅ Prevents overcooking – No grey-green yolks!
✅ Easy peeling – The cold water bath helps separate the shell from the egg.
✅ Perfect consistency – Runny yolks for dipping, firm whites for structure.

This method is quick, simple, and guarantees perfect eggs every time! Try it out and let me know – how do you like your boiled eggs? 🍳👇
