Ingredients
- 12 eggs
- 1 tablespoon salt
- water
Instructions
- Place the eggs in a medium saucepan and cover with at least 2 inches of cold water.
- Add 1 tablespoon of salt.
- Place the saucepan over high heat until it reaches a boil.
- Remove the saucepan from heat, cover with a tight-fitting lid and let sit for 13 minutes.
- After 13 minutes, transfer the eggs to the ice-water bath. Allow them cool for 5 minutes.
- Once the eggs are at room temperature, carefully crack the shells (making sure the majority of the shell is cracked) and gently begin removing. If needed, you can dip the eggs in and out of the water to remove any slivers of the shell.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
