How To Make A Perfect Boiled Egg

Place room temperature eggs in a small to medium saucepan and cover with plenty of cold water. Place on high heat and set time for 10 minutes.

Once you’ve got a feel for your saucepan and cooktop, you might tweak it by a minute either way, but you want the eggs simmering for the last 2 minutes.

When buzzer goes, turn off and drain hot water. Peel under cold water and serve mashed in a bowl with a knob of butter or on a slice of sourdough toast if you are feeling a little posh!
