Jammy Soft-Boiled Eggs

1.Carefully lower the eggs into a saucepan of boiling water using a slotted spoon or a ladle. Ensure the water covers the eggs completely.

2.Reduce the heat to a low simmer and cook the eggs for 6 to 7 minutes for a jammy consistency.

3.While the eggs are cooking, prepare an ice bath in a large bowl by mixing ice and cold water.

4.Once the eggs are cooked, use a slotted spoon to immediately transfer them to the ice bath. Allow them to chill for at least 3 minutes to halt the cooking process.

5.Gently crack the wide end of each egg and peel under running water, starting from the cracked end. The water helps the shell come off more easily.

6.Serve the peeled eggs immediately while they are still warm. Optionally, garnish with finely chopped chives, flaky sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper.

7.Enjoy your jammy eggs as is, or serve with toast points, steamed asparagus, or atop a warm bowl of ramen for a comforting meal.
