It's when you overcook eggs that they smell, they release sulfur and that is what you are smelling. You'll find that an 8 minute boiled egg will not smell like ones that have boiled longer. Same with scrambled eggs. If you cook them properly until they are just set they won't smell, overcook them and the smell is God awful. My husband overcooks scrambled eggs everytime and the smell is putrid, I won't even let him cook them anymore.
