Instructions (5 steps)

01Grease the individual egg cups of an egg coddler pan.
02Fill the egg coddler pan with a 1/2 inch (1.2 cm) of water. (Don't add the top section yet with the egg cups.) Bring the water to a boil, then reduce to a rolling simmer.
03Once the water is simmering, place the top section with the greased egg cups in their holders. Crack a cold egg into each cup. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and/or chives, if using.
04Cover and cook for 4-5 minutes, for cooked whites and runny yolks. Add another 1-2 minutes for firmer yolks.
05Remove from heat. Use heatproof gloves to lift the egg cups out of the coddler. Slide a small silicone spatula around the edge of each one to make it easier to transfer to a serving plate.
