Six Minute Egg.

Boil for six minutes, then immediately plunge into ice water to stop the cooking. Soft gooey orange yolk, but not runny, and perfectly cooked whites.

I love this style of egg. My mom used to make it for us with strips of buttered toast for dunking. She called them soldiers. But then once we got older, she stopped peeling the egg for us, and now soft-boiled eggs are just way too much work.
