How long to boil eggs in a bag?

Eggs in a bag are not fully cooked eggs, so they need to be boiled less than hard boiled. Put eggs in a saucepan, pour 1 liter of water, add a spoonful of salt so that the shell does not crack. Put all this on medium heat (5 on a 10-point scale) and wait for it to boil. After the first bubbles, measure 5 minutes – during this time the eggs will just boil into the bag.
