Instructions:
- Prepare the Water:
- Fill a small saucepan with water, enough to cover the egg by about an inch.
- Bring the water to a gentle simmer (around 180-190°F or 82-88°C). You don’t want the water to be boiling.
- Coddle the Egg:
- Crack the egg into a small, heatproof bowl or ramekin (or directly into the simmering water using a spoon if you prefer).
- Gently lower the bowl with the egg into the simmering water. Make sure the water comes up around the sides of the egg but doesn’t overflow.
- Let the egg cook for about 3-5 minutes. The exact time depends on how runny or set you want the yolk. For a runny yolk, aim for closer to 3 minutes; for a firmer yolk, go closer to 5 minutes.
- Serve:
- Carefully remove the egg from the water and let it drain.
- If you used a bowl, gently slide the egg out onto a plate.
- Top with a small pat of butter, salt, and pepper, and any herbs you like.

Tips:
- For flavor variation, you can add a sprinkle of grated cheese or some avocado slices on the side.
- Coddling multiple eggs: If you are preparing multiple eggs, make sure to cook them one at a time for the best results.
