Eggs are one of those ingredients that seem simple until you've had them cooked badly one too many times — rubbery whites, chalky yolks, the whole disappointment. The sous vide method solves all of that by holding the water at a precise, steady temperature so every egg comes out with whites that are just set and opaque and a yolk that's thick, jammy, and deeply satisfying. It's the kind of result that feels restaurant-worthy but happens right in your own kitchen with almost zero effort. For anyone managing a low FODMAP approach, eggs are a naturally safe, protein-rich staple, and this recipe keeps things beautifully clean — just eggs, flaky sea salt, black pepper, and optional toast with butter. No sauces, no hidden ingredients, no guesswork about what's lurking in a pre-made breakfast item. The optional toast and butter round it out into a proper meal, but the eggs are honestly stunning enough to eat on their own. Once you try this method, it's very hard to go back to any other way of cooking eggs.

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.
