Ingredients
- ? 4 large eggs
- ? Salt (for seasoning)
- ? Optional: Fresh herbs or chili flakes (for serving)
Instructions
1️⃣ Boil Water:
In a medium saucepan, bring water to a boil. Make sure there is enough water to cover the eggs completely.
2️⃣ Prepare the Eggs:
Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Using a slotted spoon, carefully lower the eggs into the water.
3️⃣ Cook the Eggs:
Cook the eggs for 6-7 minutes for jammy yolks (adjust time slightly for firmer or softer yolks as desired).
4️⃣ Prepare an Ice Bath:
While the eggs are cooking, prepare a bowl of ice water.
5️⃣ Transfer Eggs to Ice Bath:
Once the cooking time is up, immediately transfer the eggs to the ice bath using a slotted spoon. This will stop the cooking process and make them easier to peel.
6️⃣ Peel the Eggs:
Let the eggs sit in the ice bath for about 5-10 minutes. Gently tap the eggs on a hard surface and peel under running water for easier shell removal.
7️⃣ Serve:
Cut the eggs in half and sprinkle with salt. Serve as is or on top of toast, salads, or grain bowls. Enjoy your delicious Jammy Eggs! ?️✨
