The Perfect Jammy / Soft-Boiled Egg

The world's best soft boiled egg. This is it. This is the winning "recipe" if you will. Hardly a recipe, because all it requires of you is to drop an egg into boiling water, and then into cool water. But still!

Jammy eggs are the perfect addition to the top of avocado toast, or a nice bright salad, or on their own for breakfast or a snack. These babies are so pretty and delicious. If you love a nice soft boiled egg, where the whites are cooked through, but the yolk isn't all the way set, then this is the recipe for you!

THE PERFECT JAMMY / SOFT BOILED EGG

DIRECTIONS:

1.) Bring a pot of water to a gentle boil
2.) Carefully lower your eggs in with a slotted spoon I’d recommend six eggs at a time.
3.) Set your timer for exactly 6.5 minutes. Exactly. 6.5. Just trust me.
4.) Once your timer goes off, remove your eggs and lower them into a bowl of cold tap water (no ice required).
5.) Let them sit for a few minutes until they are cool all the way through.
6.) Tap, tap, tap and remove the shell. Slice in half, and season with salt and pepper
