Here’s a quick and foolproof way to make boiled eggs, whether you like them soft, medium, or hard:
🥚 How to Boil Eggs
📝 Ingredients:
- Eggs
- Water
🍳 Instructions:
- Place eggs in a pot
Arrange eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. - Add water
Pour in enough water to cover the eggs by about 1 inch. - Bring to a boil
Heat on medium-high until the water reaches a rolling boil. - Turn off heat & cover
Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pot, and let eggs sit:- ⏱️ Soft-boiled: 4–6 minutes (runny yolk)
- ⏱️ Medium-boiled: 7–9 minutes (slightly soft center)
- ⏱️ Hard-boiled: 10–12 minutes (fully set yolk)
- Cool down
Transfer eggs to cold water or an ice bath for a few minutes—this stops cooking and makes peeling easier.
🧂 Tips:
- Add a pinch of salt or a splash of vinegar to reduce cracking
- Older eggs peel easier than very fresh ones
- Gently tap and roll the egg to peel smoothly
