Ingredients
- 6 Large eggs
Instructions
- Arrange the eggs in a medium-sized pot, ensuring they are covered with cold water by about an inch. Set the pot on the stove and bring the water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, promptly cover the pot and remove it from the heat. Allow the eggs to cook in the residual heat for 9 to 12 minutes, depending on how firm you prefer the yolk. After cooking, immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water. Let them cool for approximately 14 minutes; this will significantly ease the peeling process. Once cooled, peel the eggs and enjoy.
Notes
Eggs can differ in peeling ease depending on their size, type, and freshness. Generally, farm-fresh eggs tend to be more challenging to peel compared to older eggs.
