A soft-boiled egg is a delicious way to enjoy eggs with a creamy, runny yolk. To make one, you gently boil the egg in its shell for about 6 to 7 minutes. This cooking time allows the white to set while keeping the yolk warm and gooey. Soft-boiled eggs are often served in an egg cup, making them easy to eat with a spoon. These eggs are popular in many cultures and can be enjoyed on their own or as part of a dish. They pair well with toast, salads, or even ramen, adding a rich flavor and smooth texture to any meal.
