How to Make 10 Minute Eggs Recipe

What I love about 10 Minute Eggs is that they are simple and straightforward to make. They are budget friendly and the perfect economical choice for serving up a healthy but elegant meal pronto.

What exactly is a 10 Minute Egg? For starters, it’s a cross between a hard and soft boiled. The center isn’t quite as firm as it is for hard boiled but it is still soft and bright yellow similar to soft boiled eggs.

It’s very easy to peel, which means you can serve it up in salads, alone, or with your favorite meat, like steak or ham. It’s also great as a “meatless” entree or included as an ingredient for your favorite brunch salad.

From Poached Eggs to Hard Boiled Eggs and now my 10 Minute Eggs, you’ll find that meatless meals are a breeze and economical to prepare.

To Make:

When cooking 10 minute eggs, timing is of essence.

Soft boiled eggs take about six minutes, hard boiled can take between 12-14 minutes. And, 10 minute eggs–well–you guessed it–10 minutes. It’s that simple.

The rule of thumb is if you want a more “runny” egg, cook your eggs for less time.

First, carefully begin by boiling water.

Next place your eggs directly into the boiling water, being careful to gently lay the eggs one-by-one into the pot.

Turn the heat on the burner down to medium high to medium. The water should simmer, not at a hard boil. Then be sure to put a lid on the pot.

Now set your timer for 10 minutes.

While the eggs are cooking, set up a bowl with ice water nearby.

Turn off the heat at 10 minutes.

Place the eggs into the bowl with ice water. I like to change out the water once the ice has melted and the water becomes lukewarm. I like to add cold water from my refrigerator water dispenser. And, you can add more ice, if needed. The idea is to let the eggs cool for five minutes.

Once they have cooled, the eggs will be ready to peel.

It’s best if you crack the whole egg shell and before peeling it. This releases any pressure on the egg and allows the shell to come off easily.

Then serve whole or slice or mince as needed.

You can also eat as is or place in salads, alongside toast or for a brunch side dish. Enjoy!
