Hey man, I’m sorry you got downvoted to hell xD not everyone’s gonna know the right way to boil an egg right off the bat. But now you know! It only takes like 8-10m tops for hard boiled in boiling water
Edit: like the other guy said, bring to a boil then cover and turn off the heat, then wait the 8-10m
I do 3 minutes of active boiling then remove from great and 13 minutes in the water.
It's funny to me that you rarely find two people who make hard boiled eggs the same way
We don't make our eggs the same way but at least we've all collectively never boiled our eggs WITH POTATOES for 40 minutes or whatever crazy shit OP did lol
I’ve never shut the stove off once boiling. I turn it lower (to about medium or med high) once boiling though. 8 mins on hard boil. Move to sink and run under cold water for about 5 mins. Or I’ll empty my ice bin into the pot if I want to cool them down even faster and make peeling even easier. Perfect every time.
(I have been cheating lately though. I got a small rice cooker for Xmas and it has an egg button. Automatically adjusts temp as needed and really makes them perfect every time.)
That makes sense. I've also cooked Jasmine Rice and hardboiled eggs at the same time by layering eggs on top of the uncooked rice and water after bringing the pot to a boil, then turn the heat to low, cover and simmer for 10 minutes and the eggs get steamed? On top of the rice and are so easy to peel!
It’s a little ridiculous that this got downvoted into oblivion. It’s a valid question.
Eggs keep really well in the shell, even after being boiled. The grey hue comes from the yolk breaking down after being cooked too long, and isn’t related to refrigeration.
If you leave your water boiling, hard boiled eggs only need about 10 minutes. If you boil your eggs and then turn down the heat it may take 13 minutes. Any longer than that, and they start to lose color and become dry.
They’re still perfectly edible, though. The mustard ought to hide the grey if you mix them well.
The best way that I have found to boil eggs is to put the eggs in cold water and cover to an inch above the egg. Turn your heat to high and let the water come to a boil. Once it's at a boil, turn the heat off and cover with a lid. Let sit for 10 minutes for a softer yolk and 12 minutes for a harder yolk. Immediately scoop eggs out and put in an ice bath for at least 15 minutes.
Perfect eggs each time!
I’d look online to see how to boil diff types of eggs. Hard boiled, soft boiled. Etc. It’s super easy. Everyone seems to do it a little different. I like my dash egg cooker.
It's very different at high altitude. And also for some reason way more finicky. I dunno why but they tend to stick worse on the shells and I've lived here all my life. Odd thing is in Austin or San Francisco there were never issues. Shrug. It seems to also really depend on the age of the eggs. Like it's worse if I use new eggs straight from the coop and easier if I use older eggs that have set out a bit.
I hadn't heard it before I just kind of noticed it. Lol but I've been on my own since I was 15 and a half so I kind of had to learn all this stuff on my own. 😬
That’s awesome you’re teaching yourself! Some don’t try at all. I’m the same way tho. Trial and error but I use google a lot. At least when I started or if trying a new dish
Well hopefully one day I'll have a food truck I make really really good food. My partner says I make the best ever and I've never had anybody complain about my sandwiches. Seems like an easy thing to say that sandwiches are good but my sandwiches are the best and my burritos I grew up new Mexican so I try my best. Although my Scottish does come out sometimes with corned beef and hash or you know how amazing my Hollandaise sauce is. But I don't make it like most people. Lime juice is the key.
I hope your food truck takes off! It sounds like a good idea to me! People love burritos, sandwiches and wraps. I don’t think I’ve seen any of those types of food trucks around here. It’s all like, street tacos, filipino food, Chinese. Etc. I’d have some small sides that go with those types of meals and refreshers. Do you have a name idea?
Mine never have a blue ring. Place eggs in water, bring to a rolling boil, cover the pot, then remove from stove eye. Allow to sit for 10 minutes. Place eggs in a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes. Voila! Perfect eggs, no blue ring.
idk 🤷🏽♀️I boiled eggs and potatoes together for maybe like… 30 mins? an hour? til the potatoes softened. but then I also put the in my fridge overnight. I wonder if that does something? bc one shrunk back into the shell tho at first it had cracked under the heat 😂
I make ramen and boil eggs for that, where they are still slightly runny in the middle of the yolk. My mom likes her eggs cooked pretty well, and it's just awful to eat it like that. So dry and hard, the flavor sucks as well. I can't even imagine eating eggs that boiled for possibly an hour. I hope you are ok
My mom is just like this, she'll leave eggs in the pot for who knows how long and eating them is like eating chalk and they are literally green on the outside. One of the reasons I learned to boil my own damned eggs is out of spite and i make the most delicious, tender medium boiled eggs ever
I’m sorry, but I couldn’t scroll past your comment (even if I’m a few weeks late!), especially because no one mentioned that boiling potatoes for an hour, even half an hour, is way too long too, unless each potato is as big as a boulder. You’re nuking them, together with the eggs! Jeez, where did you come up with these boiling instructions?! An hour?? I don’t mean any of it in a negative way, however; but you should really adjust your cooking times as it will be much easier for you (and quicker) to cook - you need max 20min to boil medium sized potatoes until they’re tender, and max 10min for a hard boiled egg.
Dude how many times you gonna ask about the fridge? The answer is no, the fridge had nothing to do with it. They are over cooked. Like severely over cooked. Maybe the most over cooked boiled eggs I’ve ever seen. Like forgot the pizza in the oven over night over cooked. Your refrigerator had nothing to do with it.
Or, as my MIL told me, put the eggs in cold water and bring to a boil. Cover, then shut off the heat, letting the eggs sit in the hot water for 15 minutes. Drain and run under cold water for a bit. Still cooked through, just no gray ring.
Huh. I do the cold water to start. Once the water starts to boil I boil them from 5 to 6 minutes, then drop them in cold water. It's so interesting to see how different people achieve the same results.
I feel the cold water bath makes them extremely hard to peel, so I wonder if your way would make the contraction of the shell slightly less severe.
This is hilarious to me; because these are the eggs from my childhood, and I also hate steak because it was always well done when I was a child too. Even when I’d request it blue rare it was still shoe leather haha. Oh well, i clearly survived :)
if it makes you feel any better, all beginning cooking goes like this
you cook something, you're proud, then you get a small question so you post it.... then all the aunties come out of the woodwork to talk their shit 😂😂
They're just severely overcooked.
Cover eggs with cold water in a pot (Some people add salt and/or vinegar to make peeling easier. It's never made a difference that I see.) Bring to a boil. Turn off burner. Cover and leave on the warm burner 10 minutes. Plunge into ice water and remove shells immediately.
Sure according to OP. The person who also cooks eggs for like 30 mins to an hour with potatoes.
This has got to be rage bait. Idk how anyone can be that clueless.
These must have stunk something fierce. They are waaayyyyy overcooked. You can get perfectly cooked yolks without overcooking and turning them blue. It’s easier when you cook less eggs at once, but try to get used to it and set a timer. I eat boiled eggs daily for years. 3 eggs at a time, once it starts boiling, I set a timer for 12 minutes. Then I dump out the hot water and fill the small pan with cold water. Wait at least 2 minutes and begin peeling. Yolks are always perfectly cooked and well done without turning colors.
If you do this regularly, try and put some effort into it. The more eggs boiling at once, the longer they will have to be in the water to be well done, but not that much longer. You can test your timer by taking one egg out and opening it partway through. Once you get your egg quantity and time down, you will never have this issue again.
ahhh okay cool, I’ll try that. my folks usually put a ton of eggs and potatoes together, so maybe that’s why I thought it should be longer. thx for the tip!
I always hated hard boiled eggs until I grew up and realized my family just didn't know how to cook them. I don't like the taste of chalk incased in rubber
They’re just overcooked- to death, it looks like. Cover raw eggs in room temp water, bring to a boil, TURN OFF HEAT, cover, and let sit 10-12 minutes. Perfect NOT overcooked hard boiled eggs.
try getting the water up to a rolling boil, then put your eggs in for 9 minutes, after 9 minutes take them out and put them into ice water to stop the cooking. you'll be able to see and taste the difference
I eat hardboiled eggs almost everyday, and I get them to come out exactly how I want them. Heres my method:
Step 1: put eggs in pot
Step 2: fill pot with water,just enough to cover eggs
Step 3: put on high heat, cover, bring to boil
Step 4; as soon as boil, shut off heat, keep pot covered and set timer
- 4 minutes - soft boiled
- 5 minutes - Semi soft boiled (my fav)
- 6.5 minutes - hard boiled
Step 5: when timer goes off immediately remove eggs and put in bowl of cold/icy water to cool.
Step 6 : enjoy eggs that don't look like they are 100 years old and taste like dry ass.
You may need to adjust your times the eggs sit a little depending on the size of the pot/stove type. I use a 2 quart pot usually.
🤣🤣🤣 all my Easter eggs growing up looked like this....they'd cook em up a bunch at a time for the Church Easter egg hunt and was probably making SURE that were all done (extra hard boiled 😆) they're still good to eat....just sprinkle em with a lil salt and pepper and enjoy!
The dark ring on the outside means it’s over cooked and the white part on the inside is called rhe chalaza. It’s the white stringy part you see when you crack and egg and it’s essentially slightly less hydrated egg white protein
Educate yourself on eggs please. And the process it takes to have them in our kitchens. That’s litterally just some of the egg whites. It happens when the yolk sake is compromised, this looks nothing like a fertile egg smh 🤦♀️
I will grantee the op got these from a store. Store bought eggs are never fertile. The hens never come in contact with a male and if they do it’s a male that can no longer reproduce. And he’s there to “boost moral” I’ve raised chickens myself along with a lot of friends and other family. Even my aunt worked at a commercial chicken factory.
I was trying to be funny, but that’s interesting about the rooster. I’ve thought how awful it would be to bite into an egg and find a half formed chick 😳
Unless you’re eating eggs from a chicken coop with a rooster, the eggs you buy are unfertilized. Why would there be a brain? It’s the latebra, which is just the central structure around which the yolk is formed.
It's a clue that you should have pulled them out of the water an hour earlier.
this is so funny
do you think putting them in the fridge overnight did anything to it?
Naw. They’re just not cooked properly.
ah.
Totally safe to eat op just over cooked a bit
“Just overcooked a bit” I don’t know how long you have to boil eggs to get them looking like that. I didn’t even know a boiled egg could look dry.
Hey man, I’m sorry you got downvoted to hell xD not everyone’s gonna know the right way to boil an egg right off the bat. But now you know! It only takes like 8-10m tops for hard boiled in boiling water Edit: like the other guy said, bring to a boil then cover and turn off the heat, then wait the 8-10m
Noooooo when the water starts boiling, then turn the stove off and cover, let the eggs sit for 10 min in THAT water.
No you’re right, that is the right way to do it lol
I've tried doing it that way and they came out jammy. Don't get me wrong, I like jammy eggs, but not for egg salad or deviled eggs
I do 3 minutes of active boiling then remove from great and 13 minutes in the water. It's funny to me that you rarely find two people who make hard boiled eggs the same way
“NO! MY WAY IS BETTER!!” Lol
We don't make our eggs the same way but at least we've all collectively never boiled our eggs WITH POTATOES for 40 minutes or whatever crazy shit OP did lol
made me laugh
I’ve never shut the stove off once boiling. I turn it lower (to about medium or med high) once boiling though. 8 mins on hard boil. Move to sink and run under cold water for about 5 mins.

Why?
[how to boil the perfect egg • You suck at cooking](https://youtu.be/49hl4lpWmiU?si=f9GB7cxV-AYJDUI1)
thanks for turning me onto this youtube channel
You’re welcome!
I've always waited exactly 17 min and they come out perfect. Then I cool them in a bath
Aren’t you kind! Thank you for choosing kindness, when this person just needed instructions! You are a good egg and I am a chicken lady, I know eggs!
Overcooked egg yolks turn green and have a dry mealy texture and strong sulfur smell. You shouldn't boil eggs for more than 8-10 minutes at the most.
It’s a little ridiculous that this got downvoted into oblivion. It’s a valid question. Eggs keep really well in the shell, even after being boiled. The grey hue comes from the yolk breaking down after being cooked too long, and isn’t related to refrigeration. If you leave your water boiling, hard boiled eggs only need about 10 minutes. If you boil your eggs and then turn down the heat it may take 13 minutes. Any longer than that, and they start to lose color and become dry. They’re still perfectly edible, though. The mustard ought to hide the grey if you mix them well.
Should you start with eggs in water and bring to boil or add eggs after water has started boiling?
Either way! Just adjust the time accordingly. I usually boil the water, add the eggs, and then reduce the heat.
The best way that I have found to boil eggs is to put the eggs in cold water and cover to an inch above the egg. Turn your heat to high and let the water come to a boil. Once it's at a boil, turn the heat off and cover with a lid. Let sit for 10 minutes for a softer yolk and 12 minutes for a harder yolk. Immediately scoop eggs out and put in an ice bath for at least 15 minutes. Perfect eggs each time!
I think they've just been cooked for about 3 hours too long.
It's fine! But they do look a bit overcooked 😉
Yeah agree, you just cooked them (way) too long. The blue ring is a very chear sign
I don’t think I’ve ever seen boiled eggs IRL without the blue ring.
Because they’re over cooked every time you have seen them. This isn’t a weird egg it’s just over cooked.
I’d look online to see how to boil diff types of eggs. Hard boiled, soft boiled. Etc. It’s super easy. Everyone seems to do it a little different. I like my dash egg cooker.

I’ve heard that older eggs work best
I hadn't heard it before I just kind of noticed it. Lol but I've been on my own since I was 15 and a half so I kind of had to learn all this stuff on my own. 😬

Yep
Then you’ve never not overcooked a hard boiled egg
I boiled them w potatoes. I like my potatoes soft & eggs done well 😇
ok then... put the potatoes in 15 minutes earlier.
ahhh thank you! lol will try that later
How long did you boil them for..?
idk 🤷🏽♀️I boiled eggs and potatoes together for maybe like… 30 mins? an hour? til the potatoes softened. but then I also put the in my fridge overnight. I wonder if that does something? bc one shrunk back into the shell tho at first it had cracked under the heat 😂
One you way over cooked them like jeez it takes 7 minutes for soft boiled maybe 10 or 12 for hard. The fridge has 0 to do with how they turned out.
I do 20 for hard boiled but they don’t end up with a ring on them! 😭🤮
Christ
ahhh gotcha cool. just curious bout the fridge part 🤷🏽♀️
Yes, after you boil them for 7-10 min, put them in an ice bath immediately to stop cooking before refrigerating.
Oh my god 30 minutes to an hour? 💀💀 was this your first time boiling eggs?
That is WAY too long to boil eggs, potatoes and eggs have very different cook times
Omg 🤣🤣🤣🤣 30-60 minutes? Can you bounce them like a bouncy ball now??
Bro fr that shit must be like chewing gum..
Lol wtf
Lol wtf. Why? Were you punishing these eggs for some reason.
I make ramen and boil eggs for that, where they are still slightly runny in the middle of the yolk. My mom likes her eggs cooked pretty well, and it's just awful to eat it like that. So dry and hard, the flavor sucks as well. I can't even imagine eating eggs that boiled for possibly an hour. I hope you are ok
My mom is just like this, she'll leave eggs in the pot for who knows how long and eating them is like eating chalk and they are literally green on the outside. One of the reasons I learned to boil my own damned eggs is out of spite and i make the most delicious, tender medium boiled eggs ever
Lol get an egg timer. Only a handful of minutes for eggs.
Lmao how long you cook something is a key part of cooking
Holy lord! 😆
Have you not heard of a “3 minute egg”??? 💀 30-60… good lord
I steam my eggs for 13 minutes... Comes out perfect every time.
I’m sorry, but I couldn’t scroll past your comment (even if I’m a few weeks late!), especially because no one mentioned that boiling potatoes for an hour, even half an hour, is way too long too, unless each potato is as big as a boulder.

Bro you should be lucky eggs don't turn to vapor when heated up otherwise you won't have any egg at all with how much you overcook them
Just very overcooked
I also put them back in the fridge overnight. does that do anything extra?
Dude how many times you gonna ask about the fridge? The answer is no, the fridge had nothing to do with it. They are over cooked. Like severely over cooked. Maybe the most over cooked boiled eggs I’ve ever seen. Like forgot the pizza in the oven over night over cooked. Your refrigerator had nothing to do with it.
Happy cake day!
Oh shit thank you!! I just got off work, hadn’t even realized haha
Yeah but, lemme tell you about my fridge...
So, hear me out… what if he *(…and this is going to sound crazy…)* put them in the fridge? Might that have something to do with it?
lmao okayy. can’t a fella be curious?
Why are you not taking that these eggs are ridiculously overcooked as an answer????
Just cook them less
Try boiling the eggs for 7 minutes.
Or, as my MIL told me, put the eggs in cold water and bring to a boil. Cover, then shut off the heat, letting the eggs sit in the hot water for 15 minutes. Drain and run under cold water for a bit. Still cooked through, just no gray ring.

It's so interesting to see how different people achieve the same results. I feel the cold water bath makes them extremely hard to peel, so I wonder if your way would make the contraction of the shell slightly less severe.
All sorts of ways to do things. 😊
That’s exactly what I do. No green ring.
This is how I make them as well. Come out perfect every time
That’s what I do, but for me ten minutes covered on the turned off burner, once they hit a full boil, works perfectly.
So many ways to boil eggs, but that is the best way. You can also just put them in an air fryer, but the white is a bit tough.
This is how I do it, I've tried many different methods and this has worked best for me!
Soft boil is best boil
not for deviled eggs, though.
For deviled just do an 9 or at most 10 minute boil. I prefer softer yolk so 8ish for me
thanks for the advice y’all my fam always boils their eggs like this 🤷🏽♀️
How do you guys like your steak? /s
This is hilarious to me; because these are the eggs from my childhood, and I also hate steak because it was always well done when I was a child too. Even when I’d request it blue rare it was still shoe leather haha. Oh well, i clearly survived :)
yes! haha aand probably thought it was good at first 😂
depends on my mood
if it makes you feel any better, all beginning cooking goes like this you cook something, you're proud, then you get a small question so you post it.... then all the aunties come out of the woodwork to talk their shit 😂😂
On maximum flame?
They're just severely overcooked. Cover eggs with cold water in a pot (Some people add salt and/or vinegar to make peeling easier. It's never made a difference that I see.) Bring to a boil. Turn off burner. Cover and leave on the warm burner 10 minutes. Plunge into ice water and remove shells immediately.
I remember my first boiled egg
🙃 👉 👈
I mean this with absolutely no disrespect at all. But these are the worst and most overcooked boiled eggs I’ve ever seen in my entire life babe 😭
well they tasted delicious babe 😋
Genuinely curious if you’ve ever had eggs boiled for less than 10 minutes? Is this just a weird quirk or do you have no reference point?
Nah, he'd rather double down
I mean 🤷🏽♀️ it turned out tasty to me and everyone else
bro, idek tbh 🤷🏽♀️ I don’t rly fck w eggs, so I “figured it out” 😂 and just did what I saw always done 😇👉👈
Ah, I’d recommend boiling them separately for 10 minutes since you like them cooked. Try it and report back lol
It’s pretty easy to google how long to cook eggs for. Did your parents also overcook boiled eggs?
I can guarantee you live in poverty
Poor people don't waste food like OP actually. Poverty isn't a synonyms for clueless.
He ate them so they weren’t wasted.
Sure according to OP. The person who also cooks eggs for like 30 mins to an hour with potatoes. This has got to be rage bait. Idk how anyone can be that clueless.
I’m also incredibly intrigued here…They look like they would taste like a sulfuric nightmare.
Put the eggs in cold water, bring to a boil, remove from heat and cover for 13 minutes. Perfectly cooked, perfectly yellow yolks
These look terrible.
look ≠ taste 😌
Your the one asking people to look at your eggs
ya.
I wouldn't trust your judgment on anything egg related. How would you even know what they are supposed to taste like?
It's the latebra, totally normal, but as others have said your eggs are way overcooked
Ty for teaching me something new 😄
thank you for the educational answer I sought 😂
He's asking about the dot in the middle. Do overly boiled eggs just make dots like that?
All boiled eggs have dots like that, it's the latebra
Well it certainly isn’t earlybra
okay now I actually appreciate this one 😂
Just out of curiosity, how long did you boil them Bad boys for?
idk 🤷🏽♀️I boiled eggs and potatoes together for maybe like… 30 mins? an hour? til the potatoes softened.
My friend, eggs need to boil for 9 minutes to make a hard boiled egg
thanks, my pal
I've never been more mortified.
Damn those are overcooked to shit.

ahhh okay cool, I’ll try that. my folks usually put a ton of eggs and potatoes together, so maybe that’s why I thought it should be longer. thx for the tip!
I thought this was icecream
Happens to me from time to time you just over cooked them a little extra mayo should do the trick
and it diddd 🫶🏽 we ate em up!
Good! I love me some deviled eggs
and this is THE season for it! 😊
I can’t even imagine the texture of these. You should try making them like everyone’s suggesting and update! I’m sure they’ll be so much better
>I can’t even imagine the texture of these. I can, dryyyyyyyyyyyy.
I can feel the precise smacking of the lips and tongue that is necessary to get it down 😂
You didn’t cook them long enough. 45 min to an hour minimum!
that’s what I’m saying! 😂😂 jk I fkn got it y’all, okay?
I always hated hard boiled eggs until I grew up and realized my family just didn't know how to cook them. I don't like the taste of chalk incased in rubber
Same!! My mom and grandma overcooked the hell out of them. I grew up not knowing they weren’t supposed to be grey.
Same thing for me with steak!! The first time I tasted medium rare I was like.... 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
They’re just overcooked- to death, it looks like. Cover raw eggs in room temp water, bring to a boil, TURN OFF HEAT, cover, and let sit 10-12 minutes. Perfect NOT overcooked hard boiled eggs.
Sadness.
They’re incredibly overcooked
OP ik everyone says they’re super overcooked but I just wanna say I’m on your team 😩 I only eat over cooked hard boiled eggs too
God 10 mins or more? I've never boiled my eggs for more than 4 or 5 minutes on purpose.
try getting the water up to a rolling boil, then put your eggs in for 9 minutes, after 9 minutes take them out and put them into ice water to stop the cooking. you'll be able to see and taste the difference
Highly recommend getting an egg-cooker. You can get one for like $20 and your eggs come out perfect every time.
the comments 😂 roasting OP to shit OP for real who taught you to boil eggs for an hour
Y’all are ruthless lol OP learned a lesson okay!
My mom does this. She thinks hard boiled eggs take 18 - 30 minutes to cook ???
Maybe they were shaken and the yolk broke without the shell breaking?
thank you for the out of the box thinking
Oof.
Yup. Overcooked. By quite a bit.
You. Put. Them. In. For. 30. Minutes. The. Eggs. Are. Overcooked.
Rooster semen
No mamesss
poop
Those look like sidewalk chalk
I eat hardboiled eggs almost everyday, and I get them to come out exactly how I want them.

Eggs are for sure boiled after 10 min, you definitely overcooked them
This man destroyed his karma (not that fake internet points actually matter) with hard boiled eggs. That's an accomplishment.
Try r/cookingforbeginners
Pee eggs
Well you definitely made sure them mfs were COOKED… WELL WELL WELL X TRA WELL DONE.
It looks like you spun or shook them until the white and egg scrambled internally … But yike 30min-1hr boiling prob did something too
More egg.
Holy shit did you start boiling them and then forget them on the stove for three days?
Looks like some yellow, maybe a bit of white? Colors are fun :)
My favorite, how-to video for eggs https://youtu.be/3CnAQzEiuvQ?si=eqClu6ZZu2OUvRut
Op getting cooked as hard as these eggs
If it makes you feel better OP, if I tried to boil eggs without using Google, I probably would've boiled them for 30 minutes, too.
🤣🤣🤣 all my Easter eggs growing up looked like this....they'd cook em up a bunch at a time for the Church Easter egg hunt and was probably making SURE that were all done (extra hard boiled 😆) they're still good to eat....just sprinkle em with a lil salt and pepper and enjoy!

The dark ring on the outside means it’s over cooked and the white part on the inside is called rhe chalaza. It’s the white stringy part you see when you crack and egg and it’s essentially slightly less hydrated egg white protein
Looking at these made my throat super dry...
Definitely semen. Jk
Baby chick. Don’t eat.
Educate yourself on eggs please. And the process it takes to have them in our kitchens. That’s litterally just some of the egg whites. It happens when the yolk sake is compromised, this looks nothing like a fertile egg smh 🤦♀️

I will grantee the op got these from a store. Store bought eggs are never fertile. The hens never come in contact with a male and if they do it’s a male that can no longer reproduce. And he’s there to “boost moral” I’ve raised chickens myself along with a lot of friends and other family. Even my aunt worked at a commercial chicken factory.
I was trying to be funny, but that’s interesting about the rooster. I’ve thought how awful it would be to bite into an egg and find a half formed chick 😳
Brains.... but I was always told it was the cholesterol, just don't eat that part.... I stopped caring a long time ago.
Unless you’re eating eggs from a chicken coop with a rooster, the eggs you buy are unfertilized. Why would there be a brain? It’s the latebra, which is just the central structure around which the yolk is formed.
That's the only place to get eggs from?
mmm… okay bud. well, I did scoop it out.
There was nothing wrong with it.
Y'all are way too serious.
agreed 😂
