Soft-Boiled Egg

Soft-Boiled Egg

EverydayCooked

A soft-boiled egg is a gently cooked preparation where the white solidifies while the yolk remains liquid, achieved by brief boiling in its shell. This method preserves the egg’s high-quality protein and nutrients like choline and vitamin D, with the creamy yolk providing dietary fats ideal for dipping toast or seasoning with salt. The contrast between firm white and runny center makes it a breakfast staple in many cuisines.
