Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 6 cups water
- 2 cups ice
Instructions
Fill a medium saucepan with 6 cups of water and bring it to a boil over high heat.
Gently lower the 4 eggs into the boiling water using a spoon to avoid cracking.
Let the eggs boil for exactly 6 minutes for a runny yolk or up to 7 minutes for a slightly firmer yolk.
While the eggs are boiling, prepare an ice bath by filling a bowl with 2 cups of ice and cold water.
Once the boiling time is complete, promptly transfer the eggs to the ice bath to stop the cooking process.
Allow the eggs to sit in the ice bath for 3 minutes to cool completely and facilitate easier peeling.
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.
Serve immediately, seasoning with salt and pepper if desired, or top them on salads or Paleo bread.
