If you ended up with regular boiled eggs, you probably left them in the hot water too long, causing them to be overcooked for the purposes of this recipe. Variation in saucepan sizes can also affect cooking time, so you may need to adjust your timing and take them out earlier next time, but they’re otherwise still very edible!  If your eggs were still raw at the end, you might need to cook them longer OR keep the cooking time the same and pop the lid on next time. Don’t throw them away though, just fry them up and enjoy them as scrambled eggs.  Don’t be afraid to experiment, it may take a few tries to get right.
