Ingredients

  • Eggs
  • Water
  • Ice

Instructions

  • Place eggs in small pot and add enough water to cover the eggs with an inch of water.
  • Place pot on stove with high heat and bring to a boil.
  • The minute you see the water boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pot and move the pot away from the hot burner.
  • Leave the pot covered for 12 minutes.
  • Immediately remove the eggs and place in a bowl of ice water to stop them from cooking.

Notes

Many times I'm in a time-crunch and will skip the ice bath. Instead I'll run the eggs under cold running water in a pinch.
