Boiled Eggs Recipe

Boil Eggs

1. Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water by about an inch. 2. Add a pinch of salt to the water to help prevent the eggs from cracking. 3. Bring the water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. 4. Once the water reaches a boil, cover the saucepan with a lid and remove it from the heat. 5. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 9-12 minutes, depending on how you like your yolks (9 minutes for slightly soft yolks and 12 minutes for fully hard-boiled).

Cool and Peel Eggs

1. Carefully drain the hot water and transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. 2. Let them sit in the ice water for at least 5 minutes. 3. Gently tap the eggs on a hard surface to crack the shells, then peel.

Serve

1. Serve the boiled eggs plain, with a sprinkle of salt, or use them in salads, sandwiches, or other dishes.
