Eggs in a steam oven – Soft Boiled, Hard Boiled & Poached

By Bridget O’Connor

A breakfast spread with a soft-boiled egg and sliced toast, hard boiled eggs in a bowl, and a plate of poached eggs on toast with avocado.

Cooking eggs in an oven might seem like it’s only reserved for oven-baked frittatas or quiches. But with a NEFF oven with Full Steam, you can hard boil, soft boil and poach eggs to perfection for your next Sunday brunch spread.

The Full Steam function makes cooking eggs simpler than ever. Plus, you can register your preferred egg-cooking times and steam levels to the NEFF Home Connect app for future egg-cooking meaning you can get breakfast sorted without old-school egg timers or running the risk of over doing them.

Pair your hard boiled, soft boiled or poached eggs with slices of sourdough toast, crushed avocado, chilli flakes, feta and any other sides or toppings that tickle your fancy.

Function: FullSteam (100% steam)
