Boiled eggs

Place the eggs in a saucepan.

Add enough cold water to the saucepan to cover the eggs by at least an inch.

Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.

Let the eggs boil for 10 to 12 minutes, depending on your preference for hard-boiled eggs.

Turn off the heat and drain the hot water.

Immediately cool the eggs by running them under cold water.

Peel or store the eggs as needed.
