In cooking, '''coddled eggs''' are [[egg (food)|eggs]] that have been cracked into a [[ramekin]] or another small container, placed in a water bath or [[bain-marie]] and gently or lightly cooked just below [[boiling temperature]]. They can be partially cooked, mostly cooked, or hardly cooked at all (as in the eggs used to make [[Caesar salad]] dressing, which is only slightly poached for a thicker end-product).  [[Poached egg]]s are similar to coddled eggs but cooked by submersion in water, rather than being placed in a water bath.
