What is the taste of a boiled egg?

Boiled eggs have a unique flavor profile that can vary depending on how long they are cooked and the personal preferences of the individual. Generally, boiled eggs have a mild to slightly salty taste with a firm, chewy texture. The white part (albumen) of the egg is usually described as having a bland flavor, while the yolk is considered richer and creamier, with an almost buttery or custard-like taste. The longer an egg is boiled, the more intense the flavor of both the white and yolk tends to become. Additionally, the presence of any added seasonings or toppings, such as salt, pepper, herbs, or sauces, can further enhance the taste and overall flavor experience of a boiled egg.
