**For soft boiled eggs: bring a small pot of water to a boil. Carefully add cold eggs, using a spoon, ensuring not to drop them. Reduce heat to a slow boil and cook for 6 ½ minutes. Remove eggs from heat, transfer to a bowl of ice water, and let rest for 2 minutes prior to peeling. Remove eggshells and slice eggs in half lengthwise.
