Instructions
- Place a single layer of eggs in a saucepan. Fill with cool water to at least ½-inch above the eggs.
- Bring water to a rolling boil over high heat. Cover and remove from heat.
- Let stand covered for 15-17 minutes (for large eggs).
- Meanwhile, prepare a bowl of ice water. Once the eggs have rested, transfer to the ice water for at least 5 minutes.
- To peel, gently roll the egg on the counter until the shell cracks, and then peel the eggs under cold running water.
Notes
- Cooking Times
- This recipe uses eggs cold from of the fridge (not room temperature eggs). If using room temperature eggs, cooking time may need to be adjusted.
- This recipe is made using large eggs. If using medium or extra large eggs, cooking time will vary by a minute or two.
- Older eggs will peel better than fresh eggs
- There is no need to add anything to your boiling water (like vinegar or baking soda).
- Prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice water. This helps stop the eggs from cooking and helps them to peel nicely.
- Allow the eggs to sit for 15-17 minutes (for large eggs) for hard boiled eggs.
- Allow the eggs to sit for 8-10 minutes (for large eggs) for jammy yolks.
- Allow the eggs to sit for 6-8 minutes (for large eggs) for soft boiled.
