Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• Water

Directions

1. Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan or a pot.
2. Fill the saucepan with enough water to cover the eggs by about an inch.
3. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the water to a boil.
4. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, turn off the heat and cover the saucepan with a lid.
5. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for about 9-12 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness. For slightly soft-boiled eggs, go for 9 minutes, while for fully cooked hard-boiled eggs, leave them in for 12 minutes.
6. While the eggs are cooking, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with cold water and ice cubes.
7. Once the eggs are done, carefully remove them from the saucepan using a slotted spoon and transfer them to the ice bath.
8. Let the eggs sit in the ice bath for at least 5 minutes to cool and stop the cooking process.
9. Once cooled, gently tap each egg on a hard surface to create cracks all over the shell.
10. Peel the eggs under running water, starting from the wider end where the air pocket is located. The water will help separate the shell from the egg, making it easier to peel.
11. After peeling, rinse the eggs to remove any remaining shell fragments.
12. Pat the eggs dry with a paper towel and they are ready to be enjoyed or used in your favorite recipes!
