Soft Hard-Boiled Eggs image

Here's my foolproof method for making hard-boiled eggs when we want softer, creamier yolks such as in salads. The steaming method is very precise, so you may need to experiment with different times, depending on the size of the eggs and the temperature of your fridge.

Steps:

  • Place water into a 3-quart saucepan with a lid. Place over high heat and bring to a low boil. Carefully place the eggs in the water. Cover pan immediately, reduce heat to medium-high, and cook for 9 1/2 minutes. Remove pan from heat and cool eggs down with cold running water, tipping out the water, and continuing to run cold water over the eggs until they are cool.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my eggs turned out rubbery. I guess I'll have to try again.

These eggs were a bit overcooked for my taste, but they were still edible. I'll try reducing the cooking time next time.

These eggs turned out perfectly! The whites were firm and the yolks were still slightly runny. Just how I like them.

I've been boiling eggs for years, but I never thought to use a slotted spoon to transfer them to the ice bath. That's a great tip!
