Instructions

• Place the large eggs in a medium pot in a single layer. Add cold water until the eggs are covered by about 1 inch.
• Set the pot over high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil.
• As soon as the water is boiling, cover the pot with a lid and immediately turn off the heat, leaving the pot on the hot burner.
• Let the eggs sit, covered, for 9 to 12 minutes, depending on your desired doneness (9 minutes for a slightly softer yolk, 12 minutes for fully firm yolks).
• While the eggs are cooking, prepare a bowl of ice water.
• When the cook time is up, transfer the eggs to the ice water and chill for 14 minutes to make them easier to peel.
• Peel the eggs and enjoy.
