Ingredients
- 2–4 fresh eggs (as needed)
- Water (enough to cover the eggs in the pot)
- A pinch of salt (optional)
Instruction
- Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water.
- Add a pinch of salt (optional, helps prevent cracking).
- Bring the water to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat slightly and cook:
- Soft-boiled: 6–7 minutes
- Medium-boiled: 8–9 minutes
- Hard-boiled: 10–12 minutes
- When done, transfer the eggs immediately to a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
- Peel and enjoy plain, with a sprinkle of salt & pepper, or use them in salads, sandwiches, or snacks.
