Ingredients
  

  • 12 Large eggs

Equipment

  • Medium pot
  • Glass Bowls

Method
 

  1. Place eggs in a medium pot and cover with cold water by 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil.
  2. Cover the pot and turn off the heat. Let the eggs cook, covered, for 9 to 12 minutes, depending on your desired doneness.
  3. Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and chill for 14 minutes. This makes the eggs easier to peel.
  4. Peel and enjoy!

Notes

Eggs may vary based on size, type, and freshness. Farm-fresh eggs are more difficult to peel than older eggs.
