Report
Eggs are one of my favorite ingredients. Here's my how-to guide on boiling and peeling eggs with ease. Whether you love them soft and creamy or perfectly hard-boiled, I’ve got you covered!

Ingredients
- 4 large eggs or as many as you like
- Water for boiling
- ice water for chilling
Instructions
Boil the eggs:
- Place eggs into a pot of cold water and bring up to a rolling boil over high heat.
- Reduce to a gentle simmer and let the eggs cook for about 5-6 minutes for soft-boiled.
- Add an additional 2-3 minutes if you prefer a medium-set, or another 5 minutes for hard-boiled egg.
- Remove the eggs from heat and immediately transfer to a basin of ice cold water or run under cold water to halt the cooking process.
Peel the eggs:
- Gently tap all over the egg, focusing on the "butt" end of the egg (see photo 2).
- Peel the eggs under running cold water, rinsing off any bits of shell.
- Enjoy or store in the fridge until ready to serve.
