Perfect Boiled Eggs
Ingredients
- Eggs
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil with enough water to cover eggs by 1 inch. Reduce heat to low and use a skimmer or slotted spoon to gently place eggs in pot. Bring water back to a boil. Immediately set a timer for desired doneness of eggs (see notes below). When timer goes off, immediately place eggs in an ice bath to stop cooking.
Notes
Cook 6 minutes for a liquidy yolk and soft white (perfect for egg cups), 6 1/2 minutes for a soft jammy yolk (great for soft boiled eggs on toast or a salad), 8 minutes for a soft but firm yolk, 10 minutes for just a tiny bit of yolk softness, 12 minutes for a hard boiled egg with a ligher yolk, and 14 minutes for the traditional hard boiled egg.
