Perfect Soft Boiled Eggs
Recipe: #5288
April 29, 2012
"I could not find a recipe for soft boiled eggs on this site. The timing depends on your altitude. This recipe is for sea level or slightly above. The higher your altitude the longer you boil them but 5 minutes generally has great results. I use an egg pricker to prick the egg it releases air and prevents them from cracking as they cook."
