Soft Boiled Egg Recipe

Although there are many methods to make soft boiled eggs from using the traditional pot of water to some of the fanciest machines which are featured on this site there is only one soft boiled egg recipe that stands out from the crowd. Of course it is not simple comprised of boiling an egg but just like the ancient Tea Ceremony of the Samurai it has to be seen as the perfect morning ritual to start the day. It is a complex procedure but it is well worth the effort because it is indeed the perfect soft boiled egg recipe.

So in order to start you will need 2 or 4 eggs (that’s a 2 eggs per person multiplication) and they will be done following the Hungarian soft boiled egg recipe. Just so as you won’t have to search the entire website let’s go over the basic steps. You will need to put the eggs in to a pot of cold water. Make sure they are covered in about an inch of water. Add a tablespoon of salt and put on a medium sized burner that is turned all the way up. As soon as the water starts to boil turn the fire as low as it will go. You want to have the water gently simmering.

Now, the one thing most people who are just starting to use this recipe are afraid of is the fact that the water has a period just before boiling where it’s not really boiling but there are bubble forming. Don’t worry about that, it’s worked out in the plan. Wait until the water is really boiling hot and only then turn the fire on low. Leave it for 3 minutes and 30 seconds and the quickly put it under a cold running tab of water. Now you are done with the first part of the soft boiled egg recipe and while the eggs are cooling down, leave them for about 5 minutes like that you will need to get the second part of the recipe ready.

In order to complete the soft boiled egg recipe you will need to take 2 whole wheat slices of bread and get them just very lightly toasted. Next spread the thinnest layer of butter on them and add one slice of smoked salmon. Now nature has already invented the yolk and following this recipe it will be creamy and soft an absolutely perfect.

So don’t be stingy when you get the salmon and get the best you can find, ideally one imported from Norway or Sweden although there are some excellent northern country companies that you may discover. In either case don’t get it from the supermarket where you usually do you shopping because it is not worth it for them to bring in the best stuff. Next you will need to pepper the salmon and then take the eggs, remove the shelves and put them on the salmon and cut them in 3 or 4 pieces with a spoon. That yolk will run down the salmon, pick up its flavor and get mixed with the pepper creating the perfect soft boiled egg recipe.
