A boiled egg is one of the simplest, most nutritious foods you can make—quick, affordable, and packed with protein.
🥚 Types of Boiled Eggs
1. Soft-Boiled (runny yolk)
- Boil for 5–6 minutes
- White is set, yolk stays soft and creamy
2. Medium-Boiled
- Boil for 7–9 minutes
- Yolk is slightly firm but still a bit creamy
3. Hard-Boiled
- Boil for 10–12 minutes
- Fully firm yolk, perfect for salads or snacks
🔥 How to Make Perfect Boiled Eggs
- Place eggs in a pot and cover with water (about 1 inch above eggs).
- Bring to a boil over medium heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer based on your preferred doneness (see times above).
- Transfer eggs to cold water or ice bath for a few minutes (makes peeling easier).
- Peel and enjoy!
💪 Nutritional Benefits
- High in protein (great for muscle strength)
- Rich in vitamin B12 and choline (supports brain health)
- Contains vitamin D and healthy fats
💡 Tips
- Slightly older eggs peel more easily than very fresh ones.
- Add a pinch of salt or vinegar to water to reduce cracking.
