An egg that has been boiled in hot water for a bit, put in the fridge, and then the shell is peeled off, and the white and yolk would be solid, and ready to eat!

A boiled egg can be best defined as a mass of denatured protein, that became denatured by its subjection to heat. Unfortunatly for the egg this process is irreversible. Other ways that proteins can be denatured include changes to the pH of their environment, since this disrupts hydrogen, di-sulphide and peptide bonding in regions of the protein responsible for the stabilization of its secondary and primary structure.
