Eggs cooked this way are something genuinely special — the whites come out just set and opaque while the yolks stay warm, thick, and gloriously jammy, a texture that's nearly impossible to nail consistently on the stovetop. The immersion circulator does all the precision work for you, holding the water at an exact 167°F so every single egg turns out the same way, every time. Since the whole recipe is built around eggs, water, salt, and pepper, it's naturally free of legumes without any substitutions or label-checking required. A crack against the bowl, a peel of the shell, and you've got a beautiful, restaurant-quality egg ready to season and eat. Slide it onto buttered toast for something that feels indulgent and effortless at once, or serve it on its own if you want to keep things simple. It's the kind of recipe that makes you wonder why you ever cooked eggs any other way.

Fill a large pot or container with water and attach the immersion circulator. Set the temperature to 167°F (75°C) and allow the water to come fully up to temperature.
Gently lower the eggs (still in their shells) into the water bath using a slotted spoon. Cook for 13 minutes — at this time and temperature the whites will be just set and opaque throughout, and the yolks will be warm, thick, and jammy.
