How Long Do You Boil Eggs? My Perfectly Simple Method

Instructions:

1. Place eggs in a medium saucepan. Add enough water to cover the eggs by about an inch.
2. Place the saucepan on the stovetop over high heat. Bring the water to a boil.
3. Once boiling, reduce the heat to maintain a gentle boil. For soft-boiled eggs, boil for 6-7 minutes; for medium-boiled, 8-9 minutes; and for hard-boiled, 10-12 minutes.
4. While the eggs are boiling, fill a bowl with ice water.
5. Once the eggs are done boiling, use a slotted spoon to transfer them immediately to the ice bath. Let them sit in the ice water for about 5 minutes.
6. Remove the eggs from the ice bath and gently tap on a hard surface to crack the shell. Peel under running water if desired.
7. Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to a week.
