Ingredients
- 🥚2 large eggs
- 🧂½ tsp salt
- 💧2 cup water
- 🌶️1 pinch black pepper
Pro tips
- For easier peeling, use eggs that are a few days old, not super fresh.
- Adjust standing time for desired yolk consistency: 6 mins for jammy, 10 mins for hard-boiled.
- Tap and roll the egg gently on a hard surface to crack the shell all around before peeling.
Method
- 1Place eggs gently in a small saucepan.
- 2Add enough water to cover the eggs by about an inch. Add salt.
- 3Bring water to a rolling boil over high heat.
- 4Once boiling, immediately remove the pan from heat, cover tightly, and let stand for 8 minutes for firm yolks.
- 5While eggs are standing, prepare an ice bath in a bowl.
- 6After 8 minutes, transfer eggs to the ice bath and let cool for at least 5 minutes. This stops cooking and makes peeling easier.
- 7Peel the cooled eggs under cold running water for best results.
- 8Serve immediately, seasoned with a pinch of black pepper, or store in the refrigerator.
