Soft Boiled Eggs With Seasoned Salt Recipes

BASIC SOFT BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Place cold eggs in saucepan. Cover with at least 1 inch (2.5 cm) cold water over top of eggs. Cover saucepan with lid and bring water to boil over high heat.
• Immediately remove pan from heat to stop boiling. With lid on saucepan, let eggs stand in water for 3 to 4 minutes (large eggs).
• Remove eggs and rinse under cold water. Cut off larger end with sharp knife.
• Place eggs in eggcups. Season with salt and pepper, if desired, and eat with small spoon.

SOFT BOILED EGGS WITH SALTINES

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to boil and carefully lower the eggs into the water. Once water boils again, boil the eggs for approximately 3 1/2 minutes. (The eggs should be slightly runny but not hard-boiled.)
• Drain. Use a clean towel to handle the eggs and gently tap in half. Scoop out the egg using a spoon and place into a small bowl. Repeat.
• For each soft-boiled egg serving, I would guess that we used about 3-4 saltines. If you wish you can lightly butter the saltines, in which case you would break the crackers up with a knife. For unbuttered saltines, crush the saltine crackers lightly with your hands and place in the bowl with the shelled eggs.
• Using a fork, mix well; breaking up the eggs into small pieces. Season to taste with cracked black pepper and serve immediately.

SOFT BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Fill a medium sized saucepan with water and bring to a rolling boil.
• Make sure your eggs aren't fridge cold. By having the eggs at room temperature, it will be less of a shock for the egg reaching the hot water and therefore less likely to crack. You can also use an egg pricker to make a very small hole in each egg before boiling, which will also reduce the chances of it cracking in the heat. Slowly lower the eggs into the water using a spoon.
• Set your timer for 4-5 mins for runny/dippy eggs to serve with soldiers, or 6-7 mins for soft-boiled eggs for a salad. If serving in a salad, plunge the eggs into a bowl of cold water as soon as the timer goes off - this will stop them cooking and cool the shells quickly for peeling.

SOFT-BOILED EGGS WITH SEASONED SALT

Steps:

• Put enough water in a pan to cover the eggs and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down so the water is simmering gently. Lower the eggs into the water with the help of a spoon, one at a time. Set your timer for 4 minutes if you want the whites soft, 5-5 1/2 minutes if you want the whites almost set, and 6 minutes if you want them completely set.
• Meanwhile, mix the salt, pepper, and cumin together in a small bowl or saltcellar.
• As soon as the eggs are done, remove them, put them in egg cups, and serve immediately.
