Fill the pan about halfway with water and bring it to a boil.   Lower the temperature so that the water reduces to a rapid simmer and gently lower the eggs into the water one at a time using a spoon radio musik kostenlos downloaden.  Watch the timer and only cook the eggs for about five to seven minutes.  Five for a yolk that is still runny and seven for a yolk that is barely set.  Remove the eggs from the water and run them under cold tap water for about a minute or so.

To eat, use a sharp pairing knife or egg-cutter to take the cap off the tip of the egg and eat it straight from the shell, preferably with toast or English muffin for dipping.  You can crack and peel eggs that are cooked more firmly; similar to a hardboiled egg, but we like to eat the soft-boiled immediately from the shell with a bit of salt and pepper!
