12 minutes: Runny yolks, fully set whites
14 minutes: Soft, slightly jammy yolks
16-18 minutes: Fully set yolks (hard-cooked)
Watch carefully after 12 minutes. Eggs go from perfect to overdone quickly.
Step 7: Rest and Serve
Let the muffins rest in the pan for 5 minutes before carefully removing with a spoon or small spatula. They'll be delicate—handle gently.
Serve warm, garnished with extra chives or fresh herbs.
