Ingredients

  • 6-12 large eggs
  • water

Instructions

  • Gently place your egg, or eggs, into a saucepan.
  • Fill the saucepan with enough cold water to cover the eggs by about an inch or so.
  • Place your saucepan of eggs and water on your stove and bring the pot to a boil over high heat.
  • Make sure to have a timer set for nine minutes ready to go!
  • As soon as the water hits a rolling boil, start your nine-minute timer.
  • When the timer goes off, carefully move your eggs to a bowl with a spoon or tongs and cover with ice and water for an ice bath.
  • Let the eggs cool completely for ten minutes or so before you start to peel them.
  • Once the eggs are cold, gently tap the egg on all sides to crack the shell and begin to peel away the eggshell.
