If you haven’t tried jammy eggs yet, prepare to fall in love. These perfectly cooked eggs feature a firm white and a luxuriously soft, custard-like yolk—ideal for adding rich texture and flavor to any dish.

Why You’ll Love Them:

  • Effortless to make (just 6–7 minutes of boiling!)
  • Versatile: Enjoy them solo, atop avocado toast, or as a star ingredient in dishes like this vegetarian ramen.
  • Nutrient-packed: For the best quality, opt for pasture-raised or organic eggs—they’re higher in vitamins and omega-3s.

For this recipe, you will need:

  • Medium Pot: Traditional pots and pans can contain harmful chemicals like PFOA, PFAS, and heavy metals that may leach into food and pose health risks. Choose a pot like cast iron, stainless steel, or ceramic-coated cookware for a non-toxic alternative.
  • Water
  • Pasture Raised Eggs

Tips:

  • Make sure to keep eggs in boiling water the entire time
  • Move eggs immediately from boiling water to ice water bath to let them cool
