| How To Coddle Eggs |
| 1 |
Coddled eggs are made by very briefly immersing an egg in the shell in boiling water (to cook in water just below the boiling point) to slightly cook or coddle them. |
| 2 |
Soft-Boil or Coddle Method - To coddle eggs, place room temperature egg(s) in simmering water for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from water and serve. |
| 3 |
Microwave Coddled Eggs - To "coddle" the eggs, crack them into a small glass bowl. Place the bowl in the microwave oven and heat for 15 seconds. This will slightly cook the eggs, yet they will still have a runny consistency. |

| Cooking Tips |
| The best eggs for coddling are the freshest eggs you can find. If eggs are more than a week old, the whites thin out. whites of fresh eggs will gather compactly around the yolk, making a rounder, neater shape. |
