Perfect Soft Boiled Eggs

2 ingredients 3 min + 7 min 4-6 eggs openrecipes

AJ has always loves his soft boiled eggs. Seriously loved them. The firm white and the runny yellow yolk. What’s not to love? Of course, there’s very little risk that he’ll become pregnant so I make them pretty frequently. The secret, funny enough, is NOT to boil the eggs but to steam them, as that keeps the temperature consistent (if you boil them, the cold eggs will shift the water temperature). I user a steamer basket because it’s easier, but if you don’t have one, just place the eggs in the water with tongs (they won’t be submerged, but the water will steam the eggs). Start to finish they’re done in ten minutes.
