Place eggs in a single layer at the bottom of a medium-sized saucepan.
Add enough cold water to the pan to cover the eggs by about 1 inch.
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil.
Once the water is boiling, cover the pan with a lid and turn off the heat.
Let the eggs sit in the hot water for exactly 12 minutes.
While the eggs cook, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and cold water.
After 12 minutes, use a slotted spoon to transfer the eggs from the saucepan to the ice bath.
Let the eggs cool in the ice bath for at least 5 minutes.
Gently tap each egg on the counter to crack the shell, then peel under running water for best results.
Serve immediately or store peeled eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
