Candida Diet Friendly Soft-Boiled Eggs
Soft-boiled eggs are one of those quietly perfect foods — a glossy, fully set white giving way to a warm, jammy yolk that feels almost luxurious for something so simple. When you're navigating a strict anti-fungal eating plan, it can feel like satisfying, filling meals are hard to come by, but eggs are a powerhouse protein that fits beautifully within those boundaries. This method is precise and reliable: a full rolling boil, exactly seven minutes, then straight into an ice bath to stop the cooking and lock in that ideal texture. The ice bath also makes peeling genuinely easy, especially when you start from the wider end where the air pocket gives you a natural head start. With just eggs, salt, and ice, there's nothing hidden here — no fillers, no sugars, no ingredients that could derail your progress. Serve them halved over greens, alongside roasted vegetables, or simply on their own as a quick protein-packed snack any time of day.
