Hard-boiled eggs are one of the easiest and healthiest foods to prepare. They are perfect for breakfast, salads, or as a quick snack. With the right method, you can make eggs that are easy to peel and have perfectly cooked yolks every time.

Ingredients

• 2 to 4 eggs

• Water for boiling

Instructions

1. Place the Eggs in a Saucepan
   Put the eggs in a deep saucepan and cover them with cold water. Make sure the water covers the eggs completely.

2. Bring to a Boil
   Place the saucepan over high heat and bring the water to a boil.

3. Remove from Heat
   Once the water reaches a boil, remove the saucepan from the heat and cover it with a lid.

4. Let the Eggs Sit
   Allow the eggs to sit in the hot water for 14 to 16 minutes. This will cook the yolks thoroughly.

5. Cool the Eggs
   Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water or place them under cold running water. Let them cool completely.

Cooling the eggs quickly helps make them easier to peel and prevents the yolks from developing a dark ring around the edges.
