Bring water to boil in a small saucepan.
Using a small pin, gently poke a hole in one end of each egg. (This releases any air trapped in the egg.)
Using a slotted spoon, gently place each egg in boiling water for approx. 10 seconds.
Remove eggs with slotted spoon. Turn off heat.
Crack eggs into small dish or cup. Slip gently back into water, folding white over yolk with spoon if necessary. Cook for approx. 4 min.
Remove with slotted spoon. Serve as desired.
