perfect egg

Canon EOS 6D - f/6.3 - 1/500sec - 105mm - ISO 250

 

My perfect egg has no runny whites and a yolk that is on the brink of setting, but hasn't yet. A pinch of flakey sea salt, a few cranks of the pepper mill, a small silver spoon, and a chipped porcelain egg cup. That's all I need.

Have a timer set for six minutes but do not start it. Fill a small but deep-sided saucepan with about four inches of water. Bring it to a boil then lower the heat so that the water simmers gently. Lower in the egg. Start the timer. After six minutes remove the egg and run it under a cold tap for 15 second. Place in an egg cup and slice off the top third. Season with salt and pepper.
