Fill a medium-sized pot with enough water to cover the eggs by about 1 inch, then bring it to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water using a slotted spoon. Be cautious to prevent any cracking.
Start a timer for 6 minutes as soon as the eggs are submerged.
Maintain a steady boil throughout the cooking process.
While the eggs are boiling, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with ice and cold water.
After exactly 6 minutes, use the slotted spoon to transfer the eggs immediately into the ice bath to stop the cooking process.
Allow the eggs to cool in the ice bath for at least 5 minutes to ensure they are cool enough to handle.
Gently tap the eggs on a hard surface to crack the shell and peel carefully under running water.
Serve the eggs immediately, seasoned with salt and pepper if desired.
