Easy & Fast Sous Vide Soft Boiled Eggs Recipe

Perfectly soft-cooked eggs with set whites and runny yolks, made quickly in a sous vide bath.
Prep Time 1 minute
Cook Time 9 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs

Equipment

  • sous vide immersion circulator and container
  • Slotted spoon or tongs
  • Bowl
  • large container for ice bath
  • Timer

Method
 

  1. Fill your sous vide container with water and set the immersion circulator to 194°F (90°C).
  2. When the bath reaches temperature, gently lower 4 eggs (in their shells) into the water using a slotted spoon or tongs.
  3. Sous vide the eggs at 194°F for 9 minutes, using a timer to ensure exact cooking time.
  4. While the eggs cook, prepare an ice bath by filling a bowl with cold water and plenty of ice.
  5. When the 9 minutes are up, transfer the eggs to the ice bath and chill for 5 minutes to stop the cooking.
  6. Peel the eggs, then slice in half or serve whole as desired.

Notes

  • Use a timer and pull the eggs exactly at 9 minutes.
  • Prepare the ice water next to the sous vide so it's ready when the eggs finish.
  • Handle eggs gently to avoid cracking the shells in the bath.
  • Serve immediately with toast or bagels if desired.
