A few days ago, I posted a question asking how to make boiled eggs palatable. They are the one of the only protein sources thats cheap, completely bioavailable and filling in my country. Problem is: I despise eating them especially hard boiled. They taste like chalk. So I asked this subreddit on how to make them taste decent so I can include them every day.
After lots of trial and error, i finally figured out two ways I'll get eggs to taste good. First image is scrambled eggs in the microwave. I did this before but they always came out really dry and sad because I didn't use oil. However, after taking some of your guys' suggestions, I made them taste quite pleasant (20 second increments and constant stirring). Second image is soft boiled eggs. I am still trying to perfect the perfect soft boiled but otherwise these are delicious!
Thank you so much for the suggestions! They really helped me 🙂

So happy to hear you finally found something you enjoy! I find that steaming instead of boiling gives me more control of cooking eggs. when I start eggs in cold water I didn’t know when to start timing. adding refigerator temp eggs over water at full steam and having an ice bath ready helped. Also I am crazy and weigh the eggs because some I buy are 55 grams and some are 70 grams that changes cook time. About 6 or 7 minutes steamed plus 1 minute ice shock gives me jammy eggs.
So glad you followed up on your initial post.
