What You’ll Need
Fresh eggs (as many as you like)
Water (enough to cover the eggs by 1 inch)

Bowl of ice water
Bring to a Boil
Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water.
Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, immediately turn off the heat, cover the pan, and set a timer — your cook time decides everything!
