Just 1 Egg! Properly boiled! It will work wonders in your life!

Properly Boiled Egg Recipe


Ingredients:

  • Just 1 Egg
  • Water
  • Ice cubes (optional for an ice bath)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Egg:
    • Take just 1 egg and ensure it is fresh and at room temperature. If the egg is straight out of the fridge, let it sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes.
  2. Boiling the Egg:
    • Fill a pot with enough water to cover the egg completely by about an inch.
    • Gently place the egg in the pot.
    • Place the pot on the stove and turn the heat to high.
    • Once the water starts to boil, reduce the heat to medium-high.
  3. Timing:
    • For a soft-boiled egg (with a slightly runny yolk), boil the egg for 6 minutes.
    • For a medium-boiled egg (with a slightly jammy yolk), boil the egg for 8 minutes.
    • For a hard-boiled egg (with a fully set yolk), boil the egg for 10-12 minutes.
  4. Cooling the Egg:
    • Once the egg has reached the desired level of doneness, carefully remove it from the pot using a slotted spoon.
    • Immediately place the egg into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process and make peeling easier. Let it sit in the ice bath for about 5 minutes.
  5. Peeling the Egg:
    • Gently tap the egg on a hard surface to crack the shell all over.
    • Start peeling from the larger end where there’s usually an air pocket, making it easier to get under the shell.
    • Rinse the peeled egg under cold water to remove any remaining shell bits.
  6. Serving:
    • Enjoy your properly boiled egg as is, or sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper for added flavor.
    • You can also slice it and add it to salads, sandwiches, or grain bowls for an extra boost of protein.

Just 1 Egg, properly boiled, can work wonders in your life! It’s a simple, nutritious, and versatile ingredient that can be enjoyed in many ways.
