One of my favorite things: Half boiled eggs

I love half boiled eggs. I use to have them as a child back when I was 7 years old. My mom would make me 2 half boiled eggs, a toast and a cup of warm milk with some Nestum in and I would be good to go.

To me, half boiled eggs (or soft boiled) are like comfort foods. The sunshiny goo that runs from the yolk every time i break it with my toast never fails to cheer me up. I remember this gadget my mom has that makes perfect soft boiled eggs every time. It’s a plastic container with three rings around its top and a hole in the center for the water the drain off slowly while your eggs cook. It came with a funky yellow thermo cover. All you need to do is boil some water and add it into the container with the eggs in it and wait till the water drips off and your soft boiled eggs are ready.

But I don’t have that container so I am just going to use a method that has never failed. All you need to do is put the eggs and water into a pot and heat till it comes to a boil. Turn off heat immediate and let the eggs sit for 2-3 minutes. Voila, perfect eggs every time.
