Jammy Eggs

Learn how to make the perfect jammy eggs every time with a soft jam-like egg yolk and firm egg white.

📝 Ingredients

• 6 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
• 3 cup Boiled Water
• 3 cup Cold Water
• 1 cup Ice Cubes

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Fill a medium saucepan filled with 3 cups of water over medium-high heat. Cover and bring to a high boil.
2. 2Reduce to medium heat to maintain a light boil and add olive oil - this makes it easier to peel soft eggs later.
3. 3Using a slotted spoon add the eggs to the light boiling water.
4. 4Set a timer to 6 minutes and meanwhile prepare the ice water bath.
5. 5In a large bowl, add water and ice cubes.
6. 6When the timer is off, use the slotted spoon to transfer the cooked eggs from the saucepan to the ice bath to immediately stop the cooking.
7. 7When the eggs are cold enough to handle - about 10 minutes later, tap on the side of the bowl to crack the wider side of the egg - easier part to peel first.
8. 8Peel entirely and return to a cold bath while peeling the remaining eggs.
9. 9Cut in half lengthwise and serve on top of toasted bread, salad or plain with a pinch of salt and pepper.
