Final Thoughts
When you see a green ring around an egg yolk, it’s simply a sign that the egg was overcooked—not spoiled. With a little timing and proper cooling, you can enjoy beautifully cooked eggs that look just as good as they taste.
So next time you spot that green ring, don’t panic—just adjust your cooking time!
