Ingredients
Scale
- 6-12 large eggs
- Water for boiling
- Ice water for cooling
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil. Lower the heat, gently place the eggs into the water using a slotted spoon.
- Cover with a lid and boil:
7 minutes for jammy yolks (creamy and spreadable)
9 minutes for medium-boiled (slightly soft yolks)
12 minutes for hard-boiled (yolks that are completely set) - Transfer to an ice bath for 5 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
- Gently crack the shell all over. Start peeling from the wider end, where the air pocket is located.
- Store peeled (or unpeeled) eggs in the refrigerator (*see post notes for storage time).
Notes
Remember not to microwave boiled eggs (they will explode!). Slice the eggs in half before heating.
