Jammy eggs with toasted sesame oil are the ultimate breakfast hack—creamy, custardy yolks paired with the rich, nutty flavor of toasted sesame oil. This step-by-step guide will show you how to make perfect jammy eggs every time, along with tips, serving ideas, and nutritional benefits. Whether you’re a seasoned cook or a beginner, this recipe is quick, easy, and totally customizable.

 

  • Total Time: 12 minutes
  • Yield: 6 jammy eggs 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs (fresh, preferably free-range or organic)
  • 12 tablespoons toasted sesame oil (high-quality for best flavor)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Ice cubes (for the ice bath)
  • Optional extras: Soy sauce, chili flakes, or fresh herbs like cilantro or scallions

Instructions

  • Step 1: Boil the Eggs

Fill a pot with enough water to cover the eggs and bring it to a rolling boil.

 

Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water using a spoon to prevent cracking.

 

Set a timer for 6-7 minutes for jammy yolks.

 

  • Step 2: Ice Bath Time

While the eggs boil, prepare an ice bath by filling a bowl with cold water and ice cubes.

 

Once the timer goes off, transfer the eggs to the ice bath using a slotted spoon.

 

Let them chill for 5 minutes to stop the cooking process.

 

  • Step 3: Peel Like a Pro

Gently tap each egg on the counter to crack the shell, then roll it to loosen it.

 

Peel under running water to remove any stubborn bits.

 

  • Step 4: Slice and Drizzle

Cut the eggs in half lengthwise and arrange them on a plate.

 

Drizzle generously with toasted sesame oil.

 

  • Step 5: Season and Serve

Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and optional toppings like chili flakes or fresh herbs.

 

Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Fresh eggs are harder to peel but taste better. Older eggs peel more easily.
  • Adjust the boiling time by 30 seconds to customize yolk consistency.
  • Store leftover peeled eggs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Experiment with toppings like soy sauce, chili flakes, or fresh herbs for extra flavor.
