+1, but [茹]{ゆ}でる ＞ [煮]{に}る for boiling eggs. – l'électeur Jun 21 '15 at 10:52

Since there's no adjective in the clause in question, "adjective clause" seems like an inappropriate term. "Adjective" is a type of word, not a function. How about "relative clause"? – snailplane♦ Jun 21 '15 at 13:46
"l'électeur" is right: we use 茹でる for boiling eggs.
So I recommend that you write 七分茹でた卵が好きです。
For the record, 七分茹でられた卵が好きです。 is not syntactically incorrect, but we don't say that.
