boiled eggs

Hot water breakfast

Boiled eggs are eggs cooked in their shells in boiling or simmering water.

Soft-boiled eggs have runny yolks; hard-boiled eggs are cooked through.

The term appears as an adjective: a boiled-egg breakfast, boiled-egg whites.

To not know enough to boil an egg is to be helpless in the kitchen.
