Perfect boiled egg

Becky

Boiled egg has to be one of the easiest things in the World to cook. I like to make this on Sundays, when breakfast is a leisurely pleasure rather than a mad rush. For me a perfect boiled egg is one that has a runny - but not too liquidy - yolk and firm - but not hard - white. This is my perfect boiled egg recipe.

Steps

5 mins
  1. 1

    Put enough water in the pan so that the egg is covered by 2 cm. water. Take the egg out, bring the water to boiling point and then carefully put the egg back in with the help of a large spoon, taking care not to break the shell

  2. 2

    After five minutes (exactly 5!) turn the heat off, pour the hot water down the sink and run the cold water tap over the egg for a few seconds. This stops the cooking process from continuing.

  3. 3

    Take the egg and gently tap one end on a hard surface to make little cracks. Gently peel the shell of this end. Then with the help of a teaspoon, ease the egg out of the shell and onto the slice of toast.

Born in the UK, I came to Spain after graduating many moons and meals ago, and I'm still here. For me cooking is a great way to unwind at the end of the day. My recipes tend to be quite quick and simple and (mostly!!) healthy too. Also quite seasonal - I prefer buying fresh local produce as much as possible. When I have time, I love spending a few hours cooking, filling my kitchen with delicious smells and great music and then hosting family and friends for long happy meals, laughs, conversation and chilled white wine. I'm a great believer in the power and value of home cooking for our own health, happiness and wellbeing and those of our loved ones and since I joined the Cookpad team 11 years ago I am committed to helping to make everyday cooking more fun for people all over the World.
