I enjoy an over hard egg sometimes. I don’t like gooey eggs, especially when the whites are still raw.
But a liquid yolk doesn’t necessarily mean raw. Cooked yolk should be thicker and has a great egg flavor. Hard yolks begin to taste bitter from the sulfur dissolving out. I recently learned I had been sleeping on soft boiled eggs.
The key is that yolks and whites cook at different temperatures. That’s why if you want perfect hard boiled eggs, you need to put them into boiling water (or sous vide if you’re bougie, which if you’re able to afford eggs…) for 8-10 minutes. That’s all it should take. Drop them into an ice bath and then enjoy.
I boil them for about 15 minutes I think. Been a while since I made them. Why an ice bath? Just run under cold water while peeling.
I don’t mean to imply you need to burn the fucker to cook it. I’ve eaten it all types of ways. I just hate liquid yolk. If I pop one the yolk runs all over and just ruins the dish for me.
