Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large eggs
Instructions
- Gently place your eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water by 1 inch, ensuring they are not crowded.
- Bring water to a rapid boil over medium-high heat, then cover the pan and remove it from the heat. Set aside for 4 to 10 minutes according to your yolk preference. Do not lift the lid!
- Fill a large bowl with cold water and ice to create an ice bath.
- Once the eggs have reached your desired cooking time, gently remove them from the pan using tongs and place them in the ice water to cool. Let them rest for at least 10 minutes.
- Remove the eggs from the water and peel under cold running water, tapping them gently against a hard surface to crack the shell.
Notes
For easier peeling, use eggs that are a few days old rather than fresh eggs.
Adjust the cooking time based on how you prefer the yolks: 4 minutes for soft, 6 minutes for medium, and 10 minutes for hard-boiled.
