In a cooking rut? Try one of these taste-tested, family-approved recipes using ground beef.

No, you didn't misread that. We're not cuddling eggs, we're coddling them. Coddling is a cooking method that involves cooking food in a water bath. Eggs are the most commonly coddled food. You can buy an egg coddler but our method works just as well. Coddled eggs are often used in recipes that need the texture of a raw egg (such as a salad dressing) but where consuming raw egg can be potentially dangerous.

1 egg
water
Bring a pan of water to a boil over medium-high heat. When it is at a rolling boil, carefully lower the egg into the pan.
Let the water boil for one minute then remove the egg to a bowl of ice water and let cool for one minute.
Carefully crack the egg into a small bowl. Use in recipes calling for coddled egg.
You can cook multiple eggs at once, just be careful not to let them touch in the pan or it may throw off the cooking time. If you want soft-boiled coddled eggs, boil for 5 minutes.
