Ingredients
- 12 eggs
Instructions
- Gently place your eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water by 1 inch making sure they are not crowded.
- Bring water to a rapid boil over medium-high heat, then cover and remove the pan from the heat and set aside for 4 to 10 minutes. Do not lift the lid!
- Fill a large bowl or your sink with cold water and ice to create an ice bath.
- When the eggs reach your desired cooking time, gently remove the eggs from the pan using a tongs and place in the ice water to cool. Let them rest in cold water for at least 10 minutes.
- Remove from water and peel. To peel gently tap the eggs against a hard surface and peel off the shell. Rinse egg under cold water to make sure all egg shells are removed. Gently pat dry.
Notes
- I give a range for the cooking time because everyone likes their yolks cooked to a certain doneness!
- Four minutes will give you a very soft, runny yolk – every minute you add will yield a yolk that is a little firmer. A classic soft-boiled egg takes 6 1/2 minutes. For a firm hard-boiled yolk, cook them for the whole ten minutes.
