Place eggs in a single layer at the bottom of a covered saucepan.
Add enough cold water to cover eggs by about 1 inch (2.5 cm).
Put the saucepan on high heat and bring water to a rolling boil.
Once boiling, turn off the heat and cover the saucepan with the lid.
Let eggs sit in the hot water for:
4 minutes for soft-boiled eggs (runny yolk)
6 minutes for medium-boiled eggs (slightly creamy yolk)
10–12 minutes for hard-boiled eggs (firm yolk)
Immediately transfer eggs to a bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them chill for at least 5 minutes.
Peel and enjoy!
