Boiled Egg Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Water

   In a medium-sized pot, add 4 cups of water and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat.

2. 2

   Add the Eggs

   Once the water is boiling, carefully lower the eggs into the water using a spoon to prevent them from cracking.

3. 3

   Boil the Eggs

   Let the eggs boil for 9-12 minutes depending on how well done you like your yolks (9 minutes for soft-boiled, 12 minutes for hard-boiled).

4. 4

   Cool the Eggs

   After boiling, remove the pot from heat and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them cool for about 5 minutes.

5. 5

   Peel and Serve

   Once cooled, gently tap the eggs on a hard surface and peel the shells off. Sprinkle with salt to taste and serve.
