Ingredients:

  • 6 large eggs
  • Water

Instructions:

  1. Fill a pot with enough water to cover the eggs by at least one inch and bring to a full, rolling boil over high heat.
  2. Lower the heat to a simmer and use a slotted spoon to gently lower each egg into the water.
  3. Increase heat to medium-high to maintain a gentle boil and cook for exactly 12 minutes.
  4. Immediately transfer the eggs from the pot to a bowl filled with cold water and ice. Let them sit for at least 10 minutes.
  5. Gently tap the egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, roll under your palm, and peel under a thin stream of cool running water.
