Ingredients

12 eggs

Directions

Step 1
Fill a large pot halfway with water and bring it to a vigorous boil over high heat.
Step 2
Using a large spoon, gently lower the eggs into the boiling water one by one, ensuring they are fully submerged and in a single layer. Boil for 1 minute, then remove the pot from the heat, cover it, and let the eggs sit for 25 minutes.
Step 3
Transfer the eggs to a bowl of cold water to cool them down quickly. Once cooled, peel the eggs and they're ready to enjoy.
