Boiled eggs may seem simple, but getting them just right—whether you like them soft, medium, or hard—is an art! Here’s a foolproof, easy method to make perfect boiled eggs every time. No cracking, no gray yolks, just delicious, creamy eggs!
Ingredients:
- Fresh eggs (as many as you need)
- Water
- A pinch of salt (optional, helps prevent cracking)
Instructions:
- Place Eggs in a Pot:
- Arrange the eggs in a single layer at the bottom of a pot.
- Add enough cold water to cover the eggs by about 1 inch.
- Add Salt (Optional):
- A small pinch of salt can help prevent the shells from cracking.
- Bring to a Boil:
- Place the pot on the stove over medium-high heat and bring the water to a gentle boil.
- Turn Off Heat & Cover:
- Once the water reaches a boil, turn off the heat and cover the pot with a lid.
- Set the Timer:
- Soft-Boiled: 4-5 minutes (creamy yolk)
- Medium-Boiled: 7-8 minutes (slightly set yolk)
- Hard-Boiled: 10-12 minutes (fully set yolk)
- Prepare Ice Bath:
- While the eggs are cooking, fill a bowl with cold water and ice cubes.
- Cool the Eggs:
- When the timer is up, transfer the eggs immediately to the ice bath. Let them sit for about 5 minutes—this stops cooking and makes peeling easy!
