Heat water in the pot on medium heat. Add enough water to ensure eggs will be covered. Once the water is boiling, add 3 eggs to the water and boil for 7 minutes. Transfer eggs to ice bath immediately after 7 minutes for soft boiled eggs. Tip: cold eggs from the fridge may crack during boiling. Add them to warm water to temper the eggs before adding to boiling water to prevent cracking.
3-4 eggs
Make butter sauce by melting 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a pan on medium heat. Once the butter starts to brown (it takes 1-2 minutes), add ½ teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon red chili flakes, and ½ teaspoon paprika. Mix continuously and cook for 1 minute. Turn off heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil and mix well. Let this cool.
