Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Eggs

    Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan.

  2. 2

    Add Water

    Pour enough water into the saucepan to cover the eggs by about an inch.

  3. 3

    Add Salt

    Add salt to the water to help with peeling later.

  4. 4

    Boil the Water

    Bring the water to a rapid boil over medium-high heat.

  5. 5

    Cover and Remove from Heat

    Once boiling, cover the saucepan and remove it from the heat. Let it sit for 9 to 12 minutes, depending on how well done you want the yolks.

  6. 6

    Cool the Eggs

    After the time is up, carefully transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for about 5 to 10 minutes.

  7. 7

    Peel and Serve

    Once cooled, gently tap the eggs on a hard surface and peel off the shell. Serve as desired.
