Perfect soft boiled egg

Bring a small pot of water to a boil.

Lower the heat so the water is gently simmering.

Using a spoon, carefully lower the eggs into the simmering water one at a time.

For 1 to 2 eggs, cook for 5 minutes.

For 3 to 4 eggs, add another 30 to 60 seconds of cooking time.

Run the cooked eggs under cold water for 30 to 60 seconds to stop the cooking.

Peel back the top of each egg, sprinkle with salt, and serve with crusty bread or toast.
