How to Make Soft Boiled Eggs With Saltines
- Fill a small saucepan with enough water to cover 2-4 eggs by about an inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil.
- Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water using a spoon.
- Once the water returns to a boil, reduce heat slightly and cook for exactly 3.5 minutes for perfectly soft-boiled yolks.
- Immediately transfer the eggs to an ice bath (a bowl of ice water) to stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel.
- Once cool enough to handle, gently tap the eggs all over on a hard surface to create cracks in the shell.
- Peel the eggs under cold running water.
- Cut each egg in half lengthwise and scoop out the yolks and whites into a small bowl using a spoon.
- For each serving (2 eggs), gently crush 3-4 saltine crackers. (If using, lightly butter the crackers first before crushing).
- Add the crushed saltines to the bowl with the eggs.
- Gently mix the eggs and saltines together with a fork, breaking the eggs into smaller pieces.
- Season generously with freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
