Soft boiled eggs

• 4 fresh eggs

Bring a large pan of water to the boil over a medium-high heat. Once at a gentle rolling boil, carefully lower the eggs into the water and set the timer for 6½ minutes.

Meanwhile, get a large bowl of ice water ready. When the timer goes off, carefully lift the eggs out of the pan, place them in the bowl of ice water and leave to cool.

Gently crack the shell of the eggs all over
