Ingredients

6 eggs

Directions

Step 1
1. Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with cold water. Place the pan over high heat. When the water starts to simmer and the eggs dance around a little, turn off the heat, quickly cover the pan with a lid, and let it stand for 17 minutes. Avoid peeking.
Step 2
2. Pour out the hot water and run cold water over the eggs. Drain and refill the pan with cold water, allowing the eggs to cool for about 20 minutes.
Step 3
3. Peel the eggs under running water.
