Jammy eggs are the ultimate upgrade for ramen, toast or a simple snack. Here’s how to nail it every time:
- Boil the water – Fill a kettle with enough water to cover your eggs, bring it to a boil, then pour it into a pot. Let it reach a rapid boil (big, rolling bubbles — this part is key!).
- Gently add the eggs – Carefully lower them in with a spoon or spatula to prevent cracks.
- Set the timer – 8 minutes for that perfect jammy center (8.5 minutes works too).
- Cool them down – Drain the hot water and immediately dunk the eggs into cold tap water or ice water for 1–2 minutes. This stops them from cooking further and makes peeling easier.
- Peel with ease – Tap the shell all over to crack it, then peel effortlessly. And just like that — perfect jammy eggs, ready to enjoy!
