Description
Woke up this morning craving some jammy eggs! You should give our egg a whirl and start your day with a kick.
Everyone talked about jammy eggs, but what does that even mean? These eggs are delicious, with spoon-able firmness, halfway between hard-cooked and soft-cooked eggs. They are called jammy eggs because their yolk is so soft and spread like a jam.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 eggs
- Salt
- Water
- Ice
Instructions
Follow these simple steps and have the most delicious, creamy eggs with a soft, jammy yolk.
- Gently Lower Eggs into Simmering Water: To begin, carefully lower your fresh eggs into boiling water.
- Cook for 7 Minutes: After adding eggs to the rolling water let them boil for 7 minutes. It is the perfect timing for achieving a balance between a stable and runny center.
- Ice Water Bath: As soon as the timer goes off, carefully remove your eggs from the pot and transfer them into a bowl of ice water for 3 minutes. The ice bath will immediately stop the cooking process and make peeling easier.
- Peel the Egg: Crack the egg on a hard surface, then peel it. Slice the eggs however you want them. The result is silky-smooth whites and a dreamy, jammy yolk.
- Serve: Dust some salt and black pepper. You can eat them hot or cold or serve them with a salad, avocado toast, or ramen.
Notes
- Fresh eggs are little more difficult to peel than older eggs. Be patient and do not rush the peeling. If you rush you will probably break your egg.
- Add some salt in a boiling water. It will make eggs float up to the surface. Salt will ensure that the eggs will not break due to colliding inside the pan.
- I also used a steamer basket to lower them all and take them all out once. Even 10 seconds can mean the difference between a completely firm yolk and a jammy yolk.
- Always remember that the bigger eggs will take more time to boil than the smaller ones. For bigger eggs increase the timer for 10-15 seconds
