Learn how to make the perfect hard boiled eggs with a simple and fail-proof method. These eggs are great for salads, sandwiches, or just as a snack. Follow these steps for perfectly cooked eggs with a creamy yolk and firm white.

Ingredients

  • 6 eggs
  • Water
  • Ice

Directions

  1. Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan.
  2. Cover the eggs with cold water, about 1 inch above the eggs.
  3. Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
  4. Once boiling, remove the saucepan from heat, cover, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 9-12 minutes depending on desired yolk consistency.
  5. After the time is up, immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  6. Let the eggs cool in the ice water for about 5 minutes before peeling.

Interesting Facts

  • Adding a splash of vinegar to the boiling water can make peeling the eggs easier.
  • Fresh eggs are harder to peel, so it's best to use eggs that have been in the refrigerator for a few days.
