Boiled eggs are a nutritious, protein-rich staple that can be prepared soft, medium, or hard, perfect for any meal or snack.

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • Water (enough to cover eggs by 1 inch)
  • Ice (for ice bath)

Instructions

  1. Place eggs in a saucepan in a single layer.
  2. Add enough water to cover the eggs by about 1 inch.
  3. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat.
  4. Once boiling, cover the pan with a lid and turn off the heat.
  5. Let the eggs sit in the hot water:
    • 6 minutes for soft-boiled
    • 9 minutes for medium-boiled
    • 12 minutes for hard-boiled
  6. Immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let sit for 5–10 minutes.
  7. Peel and serve or store for later use.

Notes

  • Use older eggs for easier peeling.
  • Cool eggs quickly in ice water to stop cooking and prevent overcooking.
  • Store boiled eggs in the fridge for up to 7 days.
  • Avoid microwaving whole eggs to prevent explosions.
