Paleo Soft-Boiled Eggs

Few things in the kitchen are as satisfying as cracking open a perfectly cooked egg to reveal that glossy, jammy yolk inside. This method nails that texture every single time — a fully set white with a center that's warm and almost custardy, not chalky or overdone. The ice bath is the real secret here, stopping the cooking instantly so you get consistent results instead of crossing your fingers and hoping for the best. Because the ingredient list is essentially just eggs, salt, and ice, this is about as clean and unprocessed as a recipe can get — exactly the kind of whole-food simplicity that makes it such a natural fit for anyone eating this way. Soft-boiled eggs work beautifully on their own, sliced over roasted vegetables, or tucked alongside whatever protein you've got going. Once you dial in the 7-minute timing, you'll find yourself coming back to this technique again and again.
