Ingredients

Soft Boiled Eggs

  • 4 large eggs (see notes)

Instructions
 

Soft Boiled Eggs

  • Add the room temperature eggs to a large saucepan and cover with room temperature water. Place on high heat and allow to come to a rolling boil. As soon as it comes to a boil, set a timer for 3 minutes. Once the timer is up take off the heat, carefully drain the water out and cover with cold water. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before cracking the egg shell and peeling away. Season eggs if eating on their own or serve in your favorite salad like my Healthy Chicken Caesar Salad or in a sandwich!

Notes

Eggs - you want to use good quality eggs for this recipe. You can use any egg you like, but free-range eggs taste better. Organic is even better! I used large eggs, each weighing about 55g or 2 ounces.
Storage - Eggs can be stored in an airtight container, in the fridge for up to three days.
Nutrition - is based on per egg.
