Ditto this, but depending on the size of the egg.  I use four minutes on an
extra large size egg and go as low as three and a half minutes.  Great stuff
over squash.... Great stuff over many things.  Oliva

The four minute egg seems as close to soft-boiled perfection as can be.
Perfection being a lightly cooked egg white with a hot but uncooked yolk.
Mmmmm! Delicious!!
