rubbery eggs
Cooked too long
Rubbery eggs are eggs cooked until the texture becomes tough and bouncy rather than tender—the result of too much heat or too long on the stove.
The white turns dense and chewy, the yolk chalky.
The hotel breakfast buffet served rubbery eggs that had been sitting under heat lamps for hours.
