Here’s a simple recipe for Jammy Soft-Boiled Egg Yolks. These eggs are perfect for adding rich, creamy yolks to your carnivore meals or enjoying as a snack on their own.
Jammy Soft-Boiled Egg Yolks
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- Water (enough to cover the eggs)
- Sea salt (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
1. Boil the Water:
- Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Make sure there is enough water to fully cover the eggs.
2. Add the Eggs:
- Once the water is boiling, carefully add the eggs using a spoon or tongs. Be gentle to avoid cracking the shells.
3. Adjust the Heat:
- Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook the eggs for 6–7 minutes for jammy yolks. The longer you cook them, the firmer the yolk will be. For soft yolks, aim for closer to 6 minutes.
4. Ice Bath:
- While the eggs are cooking, prepare a bowl of ice water. After 6–7 minutes, transfer the eggs from the boiling water into the ice bath immediately to stop the cooking process.
5. Peel the Eggs:
- Let the eggs sit in the ice bath for about 5 minutes to cool down. Once cool enough to handle, tap the eggs gently on the counter to crack the shell, then peel them under cold running water.
6. Serve:
- Slice the eggs in half to reveal the soft, jammy yolk. Sprinkle with sea salt if desired and serve immediately.
Pro Tips:
- Timing: For perfect jammy yolks, make sure to stick to the 6–7-minute cooking time. Every stove and pot may vary slightly, so adjust based on your preference.
- Storage: Soft-boiled eggs are best enjoyed immediately but can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in warm water for a few minutes before peeling.
These Jammy Soft-Boiled Egg Yolks are creamy, rich, and make a perfect addition to your carnivore meals or can be eaten on their own as a satisfying snack. Enjoy! 🍳
