🍳 Egg Recipes

Three ways to use the eggs you just timed

These three recipes are the whole set, and each one depends on a doneness the pot has to hit at your elevation. Jammy eggs become ramen eggs. Hard-boiled eggs become deviled eggs or egg salad. A sea-level clock leaves the yolk behind, and the filling cannot fix that. Elevation goes in the calculator, not in a city recipe or a longer cookbook.

The path is the boiling eggs at altitude calculator, then the method β€” jammy or hard-boiled β€” then the recipe. Full ingredient lists and steps live on each recipe page. The cards below are the index.

Immediately put cooked eggs in cold water to make them easy to peel. Ice water for a few minutes also stops them from cooking further in the shell, which matters more after the extra time altitude already added.
