boiled egg

Shell-cooked oval protein

A boiled egg is an egg cooked in its shell in boiling or simmering water.

A soft-boiled egg has a runny yolk; a hard-boiled egg is cooked through.

Hard-boiled eggs are portable and keep well, making them popular for picnics and packed lunches: She packed a hard-boiled egg for the road.
