A soft-boiled egg is a delicious way to enjoy eggs, where the white is cooked, but the yolk remains runny and creamy. To make one, you simply boil the egg for about 4 to 6 minutes, depending on how runny you like the yolk. After boiling, it's important to cool the egg quickly in cold water to stop the cooking process. Soft-boiled eggs are often served in an egg cup, and you can enjoy them with a sprinkle of salt or pepper. They are perfect for dipping toast soldiers, which are strips of bread that you can use to scoop up the yolk. This simple dish is a favorite breakfast option in many cultures!
