MARTHA'S SOFT-BOILED EGGS

Despite its name, the boiled egg shouldn't be boiled throughout the cooking process-a method that yields a rubbery result-but rather brought to a boil and then immediately removed from heat. Serve with buttered toast.

Number Of Ingredients 2

4 large eggs
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Place eggs in a saucepan large enough to accommodate them in a single layer. Fill the pan with cold water, covering eggs by an inch. Set over medium-high heat, and bring to a boil. Turn off heat, cover, and let stand 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Remove eggs from water. Serve immediately in egg cups -- perfect for cracking and scooping the egg right from the shell. Season with salt and pepper.

I've been cooking hard boiled eggs like this for years. It really works. A TV chef recently suggested draining the water and shaking the boiled eggs in the pot in order to crack the shells, then submerge them in cold water to cool........makes for easier peeling.

Number Of Ingredients 1

4 large eggs

Steps:

  • Bring a deep saucepan filled with water to a rolling boil. With a slotted spoon, gently lower eggs into water. Cover pan, and remove from heat. Let stand 4 to 6 minutes (to taste).
  • To serve in shell, quickly crack at wider end with a knife, and remove top. To serve out of the shell, hold egg over a small bowl, tap around center with a knife, and gently pull shell apart; then scoop egg out with spoon.

Tips:

  • Select the freshest eggs possible: Martha emphasizes using the freshest eggs for the best results, as older eggs are more likely to have a tough white and a runny yolk.
  • Use a saucepan with a tight-fitting lid: This will help the eggs cook evenly and prevent the water from evaporating too quickly.
  • Bring the water to a rapid boil before adding the eggs: This will help the eggs cook more evenly and prevent the yolk from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water using a slotted spoon: This will prevent the eggs from cracking.
  • Set a timer for the desired doneness: For soft-boiled eggs, Martha recommends cooking them for 6-7 minutes.
  • Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath after cooking: This will stop the cooking process and prevent the eggs from overcooking.
  • Peel the eggs under cold running water: This will make it easier to remove the shell.

Conclusion:

Martha's soft-boiled eggs are a simple yet delicious breakfast or snack. By following her tips, you can easily achieve perfectly cooked soft-boiled eggs with a tender white and a runny yolk. Serve them with toast, avocado, or your favorite toppings for a satisfying and nutritious meal. Remember to practice food safety by using fresh eggs and properly storing the leftovers. Enjoy your homemade soft-boiled eggs!
