To make soft-boiled eggs in the shell, gently place tempered eggs in simmering water for 3 minutes. Remove them with a skimming spoon and place them in egg cups. Delicately break the shell and cut off the tip. The yolk should be runny, while the white remains firm. Enjoy them as is, or dip bread directly into the yolk.

Ingredients

- 4 eggs, at room temperature (see note)

Preparation

- In a pot of simmering water, gently lower the eggs using a slotted spoon.
- Cook for 3 minutes. Using the slotted spoon, remove the eggs from the water. Place in eggcups. Using a knife or the back of a spoon, hit the tops of the eggs and remove. The yolks will be runny and the whites will be cooked.

Note from Ricardo

To bring the eggs to room temperature, place them in a bowl of warm water. This will prevent the shells from cracking when placed in the pot of simmering water.
