Boiled eggs are eggs cooked in their shells in boiling water. This cooking method results in a firm white and a creamy yolk, making them a versatile and delicious ingredient in various dishes.
Cover the eggs with cold water, ensuring they are submerged by about an inch.
Place the saucepan on the stove over high heat and bring the water to a boil.
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for about 10-12 minutes for hard-boiled eggs or 6-8 minutes for soft-boiled eggs.
While the eggs are cooking, prepare a bowl of ice water.
Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to the ice water bath to stop the cooking process.
Let the eggs cool in the ice water for a few minutes before peeling and serving.
Enjoy!
