Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 6 cups water
- 2 cups ice
Directions
Step 1
Fill a medium saucepan with 6 cups of water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
Step 2
Gently lower the 4 eggs into the boiling water using a spoon to avoid cracking.
Step 3
Let the eggs boil for exactly 6 minutes for a runny yolk or up to 7 minutes for a slightly firmer yolk.
Step 4
While the eggs are boiling, prepare an ice bath by filling a bowl with 2 cups of ice and cold water.
Step 5
Once the boiling time is complete, promptly transfer the eggs to the ice bath to stop the cooking process.
Step 6
Allow the eggs to sit in the ice bath for 3 minutes to cool completely and facilitate easier peeling.
Step 7
Carefully crack the shell and peel each egg. Tap each egg on the counter; roll gently to crack the shell evenly, then start peeling from the wider end under running water if needed.
Step 8
Serve immediately, seasoning with salt and pepper if desired, or top them on salads or Paleo bread.
