I’ll only eat three of these and save the rest as snacks for other days. I’m currently losing weight so this is just an easy way to curb my appetite.

Fill a pot with water, add salt and bring to a boil. Add eggs and cook for 7 minutes. Remove eggs from pot and place in cold water until cool. Peel and eat with prefered seasoning. Enjoy!

    I’ve never added salt to the water; does it change the flavor of the eggs?

      Yes, they will taste different. Egg shells are porous in order to provide oxygen to the developing chick. While the egg is still uncooked, it will take on the tastes of outside ingredients fairly easily. As it cooks, the albumin coagulates and forms chains that prevent moisture and vapor exchange, so it becomes resistant to absorbing outside ingredients. As a result, your egg will pick up more curry taste if it is boiled from raw in the curry sauce than if you boil an already-cooked egg in the sauce.

      This is the first time I’ve added salt. I’m sure it depends on the amount of salt but they did taste good. So I’m going to continue to add salt.
