Ingredients
- 6 egg
- water
- ice bath
Instructions
- Bring water to a rolling boil in a medium pot or saucepan (the KEY for perfect eggs) on high heat. Once the water is boiling, gently place eggs using a strainer ladle or slotted spoon, into the water in a single layer.
- Turn the heat down to a gentle simmer, and simmer the eggs for 15 minutes.
- Once done, add the eggs to a large bowl of ice water (ice bath) and set a timer for 5 minutes.
- Remove from ice water, and tap on the counter to crack the shell. Peel eggs and see how easy it is to do! And they are perfectly cooked - with a nice no-gray golden yellow yolk!
