    First, some tricks for sous viding soft boiled eggs

    There are some very accommodating sous vide recipes that have large windows of cook times. Sous vide t-bone steak, for example, can cook between 45 minutes – 4 hours. Those recipes are pretty forgiving! 

    Sous vide eggs, however are different.  

    You have to be super punctual, and set a timer to pull the sous vide eggs out of the Anova or Joule, one of the new Instant Pot sous vide machines, or whatever precision cooker you’re using.

    Be ready to plop the eggs into water that is ice cold the moment your timer rings so it stops the cooking process.

    My idea of a perfect egg. I make a batch of these on the weekend and eat them on salads and avocado toast throughout the week. Simple. Delish.

    You only need one ingredient

    This recipe calls for only eggs. Season with hot sauce or a finishing salt if you’d like. 

    Instructions

    Step 1. Preheat sous vide machine to 194ºF.

    Step 2. When sous vide bath is ready, add eggs (in shells) and sous vide at 194ºF for 9 minutes and prepare an ice bath.

    Step 3. When done, transfer eggs to the ice bath to stop the cooking process for 5 minutes. 

    Peel the eggs and slice in half or leave whole for plating.

    Nine minutes in the sous vide machine, and you’ve got perfection: delicious sous vide soft boiled eggs to make your morning that much better.

    Look at those beauties!

    Sous vide soft boiled eggs. It doesn’t get much more beautiful than that, right there. 

    RE: sous vide soft boiled eggs time and temperature

    There are so many sous vide egg recipes floating out there, and they can vary tremendously when it comes to the time and temperature recommendation.  

    After lots of experimenting, I’ve come up with my favorite temperature and time for eggs soft boiled in the sous vide bath. I also prefer this recipe because the very short cook time – under 10 minutes!

    That’s why my recommended soft boiled egg sous vide temperature is 194ºF for 9 minutes.

    I’ve tried them all, and for me, this recipe showcases the perfect way to have them cooked in a very short amount of time.  

    Get details on the best sous vide egg times and temperatures

    What to serve with soft boiled eggs

    Super simple. There are other ingredients you probably have on hand that go well with soft boiled eggs: hot sauce, salsa, and everything bagel seasoning.

    For brunch. For starters – make garlic avocado toast with sous vide egg.

    I also serve these with sous vide bacon or a bowl of onions sous vide. If we’re feeling in the mood for something super decadent, I might even make steak and eggs. That’s easy to do – I just sous vide a frozen steak. Or serve these on toast with leftover pork butt or sous vide beef brisket.

    For salads. Just a little Jacobsen’s Black Garlic Sea Salt sprinkled on top, and I’m ready to dig in. 

    Closing tips to make these eggs right the first time

    • Use a timer– and stay close by! Pull them exactly at 9 minutes.
    • Ice water is your friend– get it ready on the counter next to the sous vide machine while your eggs cook.
    • Serve with golden brown toast or breakfast bagels for a quick, nutritious breakfast.

    Hey, I’m Jenna Passaro.

    I develop easy recipes that can transform your kitchen into a restaurant – and you into a true home chef.

      

    Where to start?

    Learn the secrets to smoking tasty Traeger recipes and making pizza at home. And cook amazing tri tip steak dinners.

    Or, fall in love with something new to cook with your air fryer, pellet smoker, BBQ grill, sous vide cooker, and more…

    You’ll notice, I kind of geek out over new cooking trends and tools!

    My story. Growing up, I didn’t learn to cook.

    (I was actually banned from cooking for years)

    And then in my 20’s I didn’t have to cook because my job as an event planner involved a lot of travel and it was easier to eat out. At the time, I was 100% positive that restaurant food would always taste better than cooking at home, and there was nothing I could do about it.

    Until I fell in love with a chef. He would come over and cook me delicious meals right in my own kitchen. My mind was blown.

    Since then, I’ve been on a mission to figure out easy ways to make restaurant style food at home and share it here on Sip Bite Go.

    Love to eat out and travel? I can totally relate. See my guide on where to eat in Portland, OR.

    Never in a million years did I imagine I’d ditch the 9-5 lifestyle in my late 20’s, move across the country on a whim, start a new life, start a food blog, and write a book.

    But here I am!
