last night for dinner i boiled an egg and served it, soft and runny, over some left over sauteed zucchinis, mushrooms and sugar snap peas- finishing off with a squeeze of lemon, freshly grated pecorino and a piece of warm chewy crusty bread. boiled eggs where one of the first things i ever cooked for myself, (perfect after school snack served on top of toast and butter) yet, until recently, i had not consistently perfected the timing of a not too hard not too soft boiled egg. sometimes six minutes was ideal and other times too long. so i was amused and curious when i came across a website that does all the minute guess work for you. enter your eggs stats and voila, its ideal boiling time is revealed - its very cute and pretty accurate and i'm eggstatic (insert corny joke drum roll here). bon appetit!
