With their perfectly set whites and luxuriously jammy yolks, they offer an excellent source of high-quality protein, essential vitamins including B12 and D, and important minerals like selenium and zinc. The yolks, when gently cooked, retain maximum nutritional benefits while being easier to digest than their fully-cooked counterparts. Whether enjoyed simply with whole-grain toast, added to breakfast bowls, or used to enhance salads, soft-boiled eggs provide a nutrient-dense option that supports sustained energy levels and overall wellness.
