    Step 1

    Cut the plastic wrap into squares approximately 15×15 cm — one for each egg.

  2. 2

    Step 2

    Spread the film on the board and brush it with olive oil. Place it on a small bowl so that a depression forms in the center.

    Pour the egg into the indent. If desired, salt it immediately or leave it to the discretion of whoever will eat it.

    Step 3

    Gather the ends of the film together and tie a knot or bind with thread to create a pouch.

  4. 4

    Step 4

    Bring water to a boil in a saucepan and reduce the heat. Lower the bags with eggs into the hot water.

    Cook for 5–7 minutes depending on your desired egg yolk consistency.

  5. 5

    Step 5
