Boiled Egg Recipe

Prepare the Water

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

Add the Eggs

Once the water is boiling, gently lower the eggs into the pot using a spoon to avoid cracking.

Boil the Eggs

Allow the eggs to boil for 9-12 minutes depending on your desired doneness: 9 minutes for soft-boiled, 12 minutes for hard-boiled.

Cool the Eggs

After boiling, remove the eggs from the pot and place them in a bowl of ice water for 5-10 minutes to stop the cooking process.

Peel and Season

Once cooled, gently tap the eggs on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel under running water. Sprinkle with salt to taste.
