Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
Instructions
- Fill a saucepan with just enough water to cover the eggs (once you place them into the pot, you do not place them in now) and place on the stove. Bring to a boil.
- While you are bringing the water to a boil, fill a bowl large enough to fit your eggs in with ice water.
- Once the water is boiling, carefully lower each egg into the boiling water using the slotted spoon.
- Once all of the eggs are in the water, bring back to a low boil. The water should just be bubbling around the eggs.
- Boil for 6 1/2 minutes, then remove from the water with the slotted spoon and immerse into the ice water. Cool the eggs until you are able to handle them.
- Peel them and eat, or use them as dippy eggs with toast soldiers!
