Soft-boiled Eggs
My gram always made me soft-boiled eggs as a kid and I still love them.
I see many different suggestions on the internet about how to cook hard boiled eggs (or soft boiled) so the shells peel easily, without sticking to the egg. Such as:
Egg cooker
Instant pot method
Add baking soda to the water
among others.
I am sure all of these suggestions work. My method also works if you give it a try.
To keep the shells from sticking to the egg, I add the eggs to the water "after" the water comes to a boil (and not before). Then submerge the eggs in very cold water when they are done cooking.
Another tip: if you store soft or hard-boiled eggs in the refrigerator, run them under hot water just before peeling them. The shells will peel of easily.
Recipe makes 3 soft-boiled eggs. 1 egg per serving.

After 5 minutes, use tongs to remove them from the water and place them into a bowl of very cold water. Allow them to cool in the cold water for 10 minutes before peeling.
