Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs Recipe

Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Add enough water to the saucepan to cover the eggs by about an inch.

Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the water to a boil.

Once the water reaches a rolling boil, remove the saucepan from the heat and cover it with a lid. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 9-12 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness:

– Soft boiled eggs: 9 minutes

– Medium boiled eggs: 10 minutes

– Hard boiled eggs: 12 minutes

While the eggs are boiling, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with cold water and ice cubes.

Using a slotted spoon, carefully transfer the boiled eggs into the ice bath. Let them sit for at least 5 minutes to cool and stop the cooking process.

Once the eggs have cooled, gently tap them on a hard surface to crack the shell. Peel off the shell, starting at the wider end of the egg, and discard.

Rinse the peeled boiled eggs under cold water to remove any residual shell pieces.

Pat the boiled eggs dry with paper towels before serving. Enjoy!
