Welcome to the collection of images and descriptions dedicated to the boiled egg — a versatile and everyday food that holds an important place in the culinary traditions of many peoples. A boiled egg is a bird's egg, most often a chicken egg, that has undergone heat treatment by boiling in water or steaming until the egg white and yolk are fully cooked. This process transforms the structure of the egg's contents, making it firm and suitable for various ways of consumption.

A boiled egg usually consists of two main parts: the outer thin protective shell layer and the inner white, surrounding the yolk. When boiled, the white becomes opaque and firm, while the yolk's consistency changes from soft and creamy to dry and dense, depending on the cooking time. The shape of the egg remains oval and compact, which makes it convenient for storage and transportation.

The boiled egg appears in a variety of culinary contexts: it is used as a standalone dish, in salads, appetizers, sandwiches, as well as an ingredient for complex recipes. The usage of boiled eggs covers traditional breakfasts, picnics, gastronomic compositions, and festive dishes.

It is often associated with home cooking, culinary traditions, and a balanced diet. Temporary variations of this product depend on cooking temperature, cooling conditions, and storage methods.
