Place eggs in enough water to cover generously,put on a top to cover,turn on high heat until water comes to a boil and allow water to boil for about 4-5 minutes,turn off heat completely and leave the pot on the stove until cool.This should give you a tender soft boiled egg.

What happens if you boil an egg for 4 minutes at a 6500 ft altitude?
Interesting question. Here is my best guess: An altitude of 6500 feet is around 2 kilometers high. The atmospheric pressure at that altitude is around 800 millibar. According to the '91 CRC Handbook, the boiling point of water at an external pressure of 800 millibar is 93oC. After surfing some cooking sites for a few minutes I learned a couple things: 1. Hard boil an egg it is best not to boil it... you place them in boiling water but immediately kill the heat. 2. Those that did talk about boiliing the egg in water gave a time of around 3 minutes for soft boiling and 8 minutes for hard boiling. So if you were to boil the egg for 4 minutes at a temperature 7 degrees less than the normal boiling point of water, I would guess you would end up with a soft-boiled egg.
