Are eggs good for you?

I am not a dietician or nutritionist, but yes in my opinion eggs are great for you. Eggs contain around 70 calories, 6 grams of protein, and tons of nutrients. They're a good source of vitamins A & D, choline, and healthy fats too. They have even been referred to as "nature's multivitamin." The only down side of eggs is their high cholesterol content. However, studies have shown that eating eggs does not affect the risk of heart disease.

Are jammy eggs the same as soft boiled eggs?

Kind of! I think jammy eggs can be considered soft boiled eggs. Since they are softer boiled than the classic hard boiled eggs! However, I think jammy eggs are more technically in between a pure soft boiled egg, which takes 4-6 minutes, and a hard boiled egg, which take 10-12 minutes. Whereas, eggs with jammy middles take 7 minutes.

Can I meal prep jammy eggs?

Yes! These eggs will keep for 7 days if unpeeled and 3 days if peeled. You can prepare at the beginning of the week and enjoy throughout for breakfasts, lunches, and snacks.

What is a 7 minute egg?

A 7 minute egg has set whites, and a rich custard-like yolk center. They are runnier, jammy, and not fully solid.
