Ingredients
- 12 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon salt optional
Instructions
- Bring to a boil: Carefully lay your eggs on their side in a saucepan in one single layer. Cover with at least one inch of cold water. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the water to prevent leaking. Set on high heat to bring to a rolling boil.
- Let sit: As soon as the water is at a full boil, turn off the heat and cover. Set a timer: 10 minutes for hard boiled, 8 minutes for medium/jammy, and 6 minutes for soft boiled. Fill a large bowl with ice water and set it next to your stove.
- Chill: As soon as your timer goes off, use a slotted spoon to transfer the eggs to the ice bath. Peel and use immediately, or store in their shell, covered in the refrigerator, for up to one week.
Notes
- Don’t use your freshest eggs: older eggs are easier to peel.
- It’s easier to peel the egg if you crack it all over.
