📝 Preparation Steps
1
Fill a medium pot with water and heat to a gentle simmer, just below boiling. Using a slotted spoon, carefully lower the eggs into the water and let simmer for ⏱️ 7 minutes (⏱️ 6 minutes for a runnier egg). Set a bowl of ice water nearby.
2
Remove and chill immediately in the ice water for a minute or two until the eggs are cool enough to handle.
3
Tap the bottom of each egg to crack off a little bit of the shell.
4
Take a small spoon and carefully slide it in and around the egg to loosen and remove it from the shell. This takes a little bit of practice to get exactly right. If your first eggs aren’t perfect, it’s ok. They’ll still be delicious!
5
Season eggs with salt and pepper, to taste.
