Servings: 8 eggs
Calories: 72kcal
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 large pot of water
- 1 large ice bath (see instructions below)
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large saucepan of water to a rapid boil. Carefully add the eggs to the boiling water.
- While the eggs are boiling, prepare your ice bath. Fill a large bowl with ⅔ ice, and cover it with cold tap water. Set aside.
- Set your timer for 7 minutes. At the 7-minute mark exactly, carefully remove the eggs one by one with a slotted spoon. Transfer each egg immediately to the ice bath and allow the eggs to sit in the ice bath for about 5 minutes.
- Carefully, under running water, peel each egg.
- Slice the peeled eggs in half and sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper (if desired).
Notes
- Be sure to remove the eggs immediately at the 7-minute mark and place directly into the ice bath.
- Peel the eggs carefully, as the centers will still be soft. I like to peel my eggs under running water to make the peeling process easier.
