A boiled egg is simple, healthy, and super versatile 🥚✨ Here’s how it works:
Types of boiled eggs
- Soft-boiled: Set whites, runny yolk
- Medium-boiled: Jammy, slightly soft yolk
- Hard-boiled: Fully set yolk
Basic method
- Place eggs in a pot and cover with cold water.
- Bring to a gentle boil.
- Once boiling, cook:
- 6–7 minutes → soft-boiled
- 8–9 minutes → medium
- 10–12 minutes → hard-boiled
- Transfer to cold water to stop cooking, then peel.
Uses
- Eat with salt and pepper
- Add to salads or sandwiches
- Make deviled eggs or egg salad
