Instructions
Step 1: Place Eggs in a Pot
Arrange eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Add enough water to cover them by about an inch.
Step 2: Bring to a Boil
Heat on medium-high until the water reaches a rolling boil.
Step 3: Turn Off Heat & Cover
Once boiling, turn off the heat and cover the pot.
Step 4: Let Them Sit
- Soft-boiled (jammy yolk): 6–7 minutes
- Medium: 8–9 minutes
- Hard-boiled: 10–12 minutes
Step 5: Ice Bath
Transfer eggs immediately to a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes. This stops cooking and makes peeling easier.
