Instructions

  1. Set coddler inside a medium saucepan and fill with water to come three-quarters up the side of the coddler. Remove coddler and bring water to a gentle boil over medium heat.

  2. Meanwhile, butter coddler. Pour in half of cream and add half of ham and chives; season with salt and pepper. Add egg, then top with remaining cream, ham, and chives. Season with salt and pepper and seal closed.

  3. Place coddler in water and cook egg until whites are set but yolk is still runny, about 8 minutes. Serve with toast.

Why this Perfect Coddled Egg works for PCOS

Eating a substantial breakfast like this Perfect Coddled Egg is one of the highest-leverage moves you can make for PCOS. In the Jakubowicz et al. 2013 trial published in Clinical Science, women with PCOS who front-loaded calories to breakfast reduced fasting insulin by 56% and increased ovulation rates 50%, with no change in total calories. Front-loading works because insulin sensitivity is highest in the morning and lowest at night.
