Easy Boiled Eggs

Ingredients:

4 Whole Eggs

Water

Method:

Bring your eggs to room temperature before boiling. If the eggs are too cold, the shells may crack during cooking
Place the eggs in a saucepan of cold water. Place the pan over medium heat
Bring to a gentle simmer, gently stirring the eggs constantly in a clockwise direction. The movement of the water helps to centre the egg yolks
Simmer the eggs for four minutes for soft-boiled eggs. For semi-firm yolks and hard whites, simmer for 5 minutes. For hard-boiled eggs, simmer for 8 minutes
Use a slotted spoon to remove the egg from the water. Transfer to an egg cup and serve immediately
