Ingredients

  • 6 eggs (or fewer, if desired)
  • 200 ml water
  • 1-liter saucepan with a lid

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Eggs: Start by washing the eggs thoroughly under cold water. Place them gently into a 1-liter saucepan.

  2. Add Water: Pour 200 ml of water into the saucepan over the eggs. Make sure the eggs are completely covered by the water.

  3. Boil the Eggs: Cover the saucepan with its lid and place it on the stove. Bring the water to a vigorous boil over high heat. Once the water reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 3 minutes.

  4. Turn Off the Heat: After simmering for 3 minutes, turn off the heat but keep the lid on the saucepan. Allow the eggs to sit undisturbed in the covered pot for 9 minutes. Do not lift the lid during this time.

  5. Finish and Serve: After 9 minutes, carefully remove the eggs from the pan. The eggs will be perfectly cooked with a firm white and a creamy yolk.

Note: For best results, avoid opening the lid during both the boiling and resting periods. This ensures the eggs are cooked evenly and to perfection.
