Perfect Boiled Eggs Recipe

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs (or as needed)
  • Water

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Eggs:
    Place the eggs in a single layer in a medium-sized saucepan. Add enough water to cover the eggs by about 1 inch.

  2. Boil the Water:
    Set the saucepan on high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil.

  3. Set the Timer:
    Once boiling, turn off the heat (for electric stoves, remove the pan from the burner) and cover the pan with a lid.

    • Soft-boiled: 4-6 minutes
    • Medium-boiled: 7-9 minutes
    • Hard-boiled: 10-12 minutes
  4. Cool the Eggs:
    Immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for 5-10 minutes.

  5. Peel and Serve:
    Gently tap the eggs on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel under running water. Serve as desired.

Tips for Success

  • Use older eggs for easier peeling.
  • Add a teaspoon of vinegar or salt to the boiling water to prevent cracking.
  • Store unpeeled boiled eggs in the fridge for up to 7 days.
