Baked eggs
Cook a big batch of
eggs on the weekend
for an excellent quick
snack, egg salad
sandwich, or salad
topper during the week.
1
Bring a small saucepan
of water to a gentle
simmer over medium-
high heat. Carefully add
6 room-temperature eggs
and return to a gentle
simmer over medium
heat, stirring often to
allow the yolk to stay
in the centre of the egg.
2
Simmer for
4 minutes for a
soft boiled (runny)
egg or 5-6 minutes
for a hard-boiled egg.
3
Remove eggs with
a slotted spoon and
set aside to cool. Once
cool, store in the fridge
or peel and eat. ■
