NOTES:

  • **Highly recommended toppings 🙂 Not sure how to soft boil an egg? Place 4 large eggs in a medium sized sauce pan. Fill pan with cold water making sure that the water comes about an inch above the eggs. Stir in 1 tablespoon of baking soda. Bring to a boil over high heat. Let boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat, cover, and let cook for about 3-4 minutes (you may need to play around with timing until you find your version of the perfect egg). Drain, peel, and enjoy!
