coddled eggs
Softly prepared ova
Coddled eggs are eggs cooked gently in water just below boiling, producing a texture softer than poached eggs—the whites barely set, the yolks warm and runny.
The eggs may be cracked into small cups (coddlers) and lowered into hot water, or cooked in their shells.
The method is associated with delicate constitutions and breakfast trays: The invalid requested coddled eggs and toast.
