Equipment

  • Small sauce pot

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • salt, and pepper to taste optional
  • toast, buttered optional, but highly recommended

Instructions

  • Place your egg in a small pot of water and bring to a boil.  When your water starts boiling, reduce the heat to medium and cook for 3 minutes.
  • Remove your egg from the hot water and submerge it in a bowl of cold water until it is easy to handle.
  • Using the back of a butter knife, carefully crack the shell about 1/3 of the way down from the pointy end of your egg.  Carefully remove the upper portion of the shell.
  • Enjoy your soft-boiled egg with a small spoon and some buttered toast cut into thin strips, thin enough to be dunked into your egg yolk.
  • Enjoy!
