Making the Water Warm
You turn on the stove and let the water heat up, it's like turning on a little heater under the pool. When the water starts to bubble, you know it’s warm enough.
Giving the Egg a Bath
Now, carefully crack your egg into the warm water. It will look like a little yolk swimming in the pool. Let it sit for about 3, 4 minutes, that's how long it takes for the egg to go from being wobbly and raw to soft and ready to eat.
Taking the Egg Out
After enough time, use a spoon to lift your egg out of the water. It should look like a little white cloud with a yellow center, soft and delicious!
You can put it on toast, or just enjoy it warm and cozy in a bowl. No magic needed, just a warm bath for your egg!
