The story behind
I love making these coddled eggs when I want to treat myself to something special without spending hours in the kitchen. I remember the first time I made them, I was genuinely surprised by how easy it was to get that silky texture that practically melts in your mouth. This dish brings me so much peace; it has that classic, refined feel while still being incredibly homey, especially when you pair the softness of the egg with the fresh taste of sautéed spinach. I usually make these for a Sunday breakfast, when the morning light hits the window and I have absolutely nowhere to be. I love enjoying them with a good cup of coffee and some crusty toast to dip into that perfect yolk. It’s definitely one of my favorite little rituals for self-care.
