How To Make the Perfect Jammy Egg
A simple kitchen staple from Natalie’s kitchen — silky golden jammy eggs with perfectly soft centers ready for toast, salads, bowls, snack plates, or honestly just eating warm straight from the shell.
There are few things in life better than a perfect jammy egg.
That silky golden center.
The creamy rich texture.
A sprinkle of sea salt while still warm.
Honestly? Elite snack status.
We add these to everything around here — toast, salads, grain bowls, snack boards, ramen, roasted vegetables…or sometimes just eat one standing at the kitchen counter because patience feels impossible.
And while it seems simple, timing really is everything here.
Five minutes.
No more. No less.

Natalie’s Jammy Egg Method
You’ll Need
- fresh pastured eggs
- pot of boiling water
- slotted spoon
- cold running water
Directions
- Bring a pot of water to a full boil.
- Using a slotted spoon, gently lower the eggs into the boiling water.
- Allow the water to return to a boil.
- Set a timer for exactly 5 minutes.
- Remove the eggs immediately and drain.
- Cool quickly under cold running water for several minutes to stop the cooking process.
- Peel and enjoy warm or refrigerate for later.
Pro Tip
The darker and richer the yolk color, the more nutrient-dense the eggs often are thanks to the hen’s diet and outdoor access.
Glow Note
I love little kitchen staples like this because they make everyday meals feel more nourishing and beautiful with almost no effort at all.
Simple food done well really is enough sometimes.
Love + Eat Well,
