Equipment

  • 1 Large Pot With Lid
  • 1 Ladle
  • 1 Large Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 7-10 single Eggs Wash fresh eggs before boiling.
  • Water for boiling + cooling eggs
  • 1 cup Ice for ice bath

Instructions
 

  • Fill pot with enough hot water to cover eggs (about 3 inches). Make sure the water can fully cover the eggs.
  • With pot on burner, set burner to HIGH heat setting and let the water come to a rolling boil.
  • Take pot off heat, reduce burner setting to low. Wait one minute.
  • Gently lower eggs one by one into heated water with a slotted spoon. Put the pot with eggs back on burner and cover with lid. Set timer for 12 minutes, allow eggs to simmer.
  • Make ice water by filling large bowl with cold water and one cup of ice cubes.
  • When timer ends, remove pot from heat and let sit for 1 minute.
  • Lower eggs into ice water one by one and then wait 5 minutes. Peel immediately, consume or refrigerate.

Notes

  • The size of the pot will determine how many eggs you can boil at once.   I can boil up to 10 eggs at a time using a 16 quart pot.
  • For purposes of this recipe, each egg is one serving.  Calories vary on size of egg, but on average each egg is 80 calories.
  • Make sure the water comes to a rolling boil before adding eggs. 
  • Consume or refrigerate immediately.
