MotherJugs -

I am a big soft-boiled egg eater. I always buy extra large eggs - the size does matter.

I place my egg(s) in a pot and cover with cold water and bring to a boil over low/med heat and then I start to time them. I don't like them real slimey so I boil them for 3 1/2 minutes or if really large - about 4 minutes.

They are also called 3-minute eggs. But I find that my 3 1/2 minutes is perfect for me.

Remove from the heat and drain; plunge into cold water, remove and tap (with a spoon) the top off - place in my egg holder and enjoy - or tap in half and scoop out using a teaspoon into a small bowl.

I hope this helps.
