1 Serving SOFT-BOILED EGG

Source of Recipe


Eating Cheap - a cookbook by Peter Bendfeldt



List of Ingredients



• 1 large egg
  
• cold water
  
• 1 slice toast
  






Instructions



1. Place egg in a small saucepan.
   
   
2. Pour water into pan, enough to cover egg.
   
   
3. Remove egg from pan.
   
   
4. Bring water to boil.
   
   
5. Turn heat down. We want hot water, but not boiling hot.
   
   
6. Hold egg under warm faucet water to warm egg. Placing a cold egg into hot water may cause it to crack.
   
   
7. Place egg on spoon and lower it into hot, but not boiling water.
   
   
8. Cook egg in hot but not boiling water for 5 minutes.
   
   
9. Empty hot water out of pan. Add cold water to cover egg to stop the cooking process.
   
   
10. Strike egg with a knife to cut it in half. Use a spoon to scoop the soft-boiled egg out of the shell. Discard shell.
    
    
11. Place scooped out egg on toast or buttered toast. Squish egg with a fork, and spread over toast. Cut toast into pieces and eat with a fork. Even better if sprinkled with salt and pepper.
    
    
12. If the egg is SOFTER than you like, NEXT TIME cook it for an extra 1/2 to 1 minute.
    
    
13. If the egg is HARDER than you like, NEXT TIME cook it for 1/2 to 1 minute less time.
