What's the Difference between Medium-Boiled Eggs and Soft or Hard-Boiled Eggs?
The difference between medium-boiled eggs, soft-boiled eggs and hard-boiled eggs is the texture of the yolks and whites. Cook times will vary depending on how you like your eggs. Our cooking method for medium-boiled eggs starts by placing the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan and covering them with water. They are brought to a simmer over medium-high heat, then the heat is reduced to maintain a bare simmer. It takes about 7 minutes for the egg whites to have a firm texture while keeping the yolks soft, but not runny.
Medium-boiled eggs have a jammy yolk with a firm white. Add them to your favorite ramen or rice bowls.
Soft-boiled eggs have a runny yolk with a set, yet tender white. For an easy breakfast, try our Soft-Boiled Eggs & Soldiers.
Hard-boiled eggs have a solid yolk with a firm white. These will work perfectly for egg salad or deviled eggs.
