Soft Boiled Eggs (Half Boiled)
Achieve the perfect soft-boiled egg with this traditional gentle cooking method that yields tender whites and a warm, runny yolk.

This simple yet precise technique creates a comforting breakfast dish, best enjoyed with buttered toast or a light seasoning of salt and pepper.
Ingredients
- 4 whole Fresh eggs (Ensure eggs are fresh and shells are free of cracks.)
- 4 cups Water (Quantity estimated; enough to fully submerge the eggs.)
