Eggs cooked this way are genuinely something special — the whites come out just set and silky, while the yolks stay thick, warm, and almost custard-like in the best possible way. That texture is nearly impossible to nail on the stovetop, but the immersion circulator takes all the guesswork out of it by holding the water at a precise, steady temperature for the full cook time. For anyone managing a nickel sensitivity, eggs are a naturally low-nickel protein, and this recipe keeps things beautifully simple with just a handful of clean, whole ingredients. There are no legumes, whole grains, or seeds hiding in the ingredient list — just eggs, a little flaky sea salt, black pepper, and optionally some butter and toast. Serving them on buttered toast makes for a satisfying, complete little meal, but they're honestly just as good eaten straight from the bowl with nothing but seasoning. If you've never tried sous vide eggs before, this is the recipe that will make you wonder why you ever cooked them 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.
