Coddling is a gentle steaming method that yields a tender egg. The eggs are cooked individually in coddling cups-ceramic cups with screw-on lids available at kitchen-supply stores. Four-ounce baby-food jars can be used as well. Garnish with chopped herbs, onion, or cooked bacon.

75-100ml double cream
3-4 tsp capers, drained and rinsed
150-200g hot-smoked salmon, flaked

Tips:

  • Use fresh eggs: Fresher eggs will have a better flavor and texture.
  • Choose the right cooking method: For a soft and runny yolk, cook the eggs for a shorter amount of time. For a firmer yolk, cook the eggs for a longer amount of time.
  • Don't overcook the eggs: Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery.
  • Season the eggs to taste: Salt and pepper are classic seasonings for coddled eggs, but you can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Serve the eggs immediately: Coddled eggs are best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Coddled eggs are a simple and delicious breakfast, lunch, or dinner option. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little practice, you can make perfect coddled eggs every time.
