A boiled egg is simple and versatile 🥚 Here’s a quick, easy guide:
How to boil an egg
- Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water.
- Bring to a gentle boil.
- Once boiling, cook:
- 6–7 minutes → soft-boiled (runny yolk)
- 8–9 minutes → medium (jammy yolk)
- 10–12 minutes → hard-boiled (fully set)
- Transfer eggs to cold water for a few minutes, then peel.
Tips
- For easier peeling, peel from the wider end of the egg.
- Use slightly older eggs if possible—they peel more easily.
