🥚My mother made these for me and called them Poached Eggs.
Coddled Eggs
An old-school, very civilized way to cook eggs, and my mom learned from the best – her mom.
How she made them:
- Egg cracked into a buttered ramekin
- Ramekin sits in a pan of hot water
- Pan is covered
- Egg cooks gently by steam + indirect heat
Result:
- Set whites
- Creamy or runny yolk
- No swirling water with vinegar – I did not learn of this method until a young adult. I thought coddled eggs and poached eggs were the same thing.
This method was a popular way to make “poached eggs” where I grew up. You can season them with pepper, chives, hot sauce, cheese. . .and even a drizzle of maple syrup which is how my husband likes them.
Coddled eggs or poached eggs is a great meal to break a fast, too.
