1
Prepare Ingredients
Gather all the ingredients: 1 egg, 1 cup of water, and 1 tsp of salt.
2
Boil Water
In a small saucepan, add 1 cup of water and 1 tsp of salt. Place the saucepan on the stove over medium-high heat and bring it to a boil.
3
Add Egg
Once the water is boiling, gently add the egg to the saucepan using a spoon to avoid cracking the shell.
4
Cooking Time
Allow the egg to boil for 9-12 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness: 9 minutes for a slightly soft center and 12 minutes for a fully hard-boiled egg.
5
Cool the Egg
After the cooking time is complete, carefully remove the egg from the boiling water using a spoon and place it in a bowl of ice water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to cool.
6
Peel and Serve
Once cooled, gently tap the egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel it under running water for easier removal. Serve as desired.
