1
Boiling the Eggs
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water, ensuring the water is about an inch above the eggs.
2
Heating the Water
Put the saucepan on the stove over medium-high heat and bring the water to a boil.
3
Cooking Time
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, cover the saucepan with a lid and remove it from heat. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 9 to 12 minutes, depending on how hard or soft you prefer your yolks.
4
Cooling the Eggs
After the desired time, carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for about 5 minutes.
5
Peeling the Eggs
Gently tap the eggs on a hard surface and roll them to crack the shell. Peel the shell off under running water for easier removal.
