A boiled egg is one of the simplest and healthiest ways to cook eggs. It’s versatile, high in protein, and easy to prepare. 🥚
🥚 Types of Boiled Eggs
1. Soft-boiled
- Yolk: runny
- White: set but soft
- Cooking time: 4–6 minutes
2. Medium-boiled
- Yolk: partially set, creamy
- Cooking time: 7–8 minutes
3. Hard-boiled
- Yolk: fully cooked, firm
- Cooking time: 9–12 minutes
🍳 How to Boil Eggs Perfectly
- Place eggs in a pot of cold water, cover by 1 inch
- Bring to a gentle boil
- Reduce heat and simmer for the desired time (soft, medium, or hard)
- Immediately cool in ice water → stops cooking, makes peeling easier
🥗 Health Benefits
- High in protein – helps muscle building and satiety
- Rich in vitamins – B12, D, riboflavin
- Good fats – healthy yolk fats for brain and heart
- Low calorie – ~70 kcal per medium egg
⚠️ Tips
- Older eggs peel easier than fresh eggs
- Avoid overcooking → grey yolk ring forms (safe but less appetizing)
