Medium boiled eggs - If you want almost set eggs, with a bit of a jammy yolk, then you will need to cook them for 9 minutes. Hard boiled eggs - For a hard boiled eggs, with a hard yolk that is ideal for for egg sandwiches or salads, then cook them for 10-11 minutes. These timings are if you are using a medium sized egg.
To steam soft-boiled eggs, set a colander or bamboo steamer over simmering water. Once the steam comes up through the steamer basket, add the eggs and set a timer for 4 to 6 minutes for a super runny yolk, or 6 to 8 minutes for a partially cooked, jammy yolk. Remove the eggs to an ice bath for 30 seconds if serving in the shells or until cool
Place eggs in a pot or saucepan. Add enough water to cover the eggs by 1 inch. Cover pot with a lid, and turn heat to high. Bring water to a rapid boil. Remove the pot from the heat, leaving the lid on and the pot covered. Let eggs sit in the hot, covered pot for 3 minutes (4 minutes for large eggs). Briefly rinse eggs under cold water. mMjS.
