How to Make Irish Egg In A Cup For One

  1. Fill a small saucepan with enough water to cover one egg. Bring to a rolling boil.
  2. Carefully lower one large egg into the boiling water using a spoon.
  3. Boil for exactly 4 minutes for a runny yolk, or 5-6 minutes for a firmer yolk. Adjust cooking time to your preference.
  4. While the egg boils, warm a teacup or small bowl by filling it with hot water for a minute, then emptying it.
