Ingredients

• 12 large eggs, room temperature

Preparation

Step 1

Place eggs in a large saucepan. Cover them with cool water by 1 inch. Slowly bring water to a boil over medium heat; when the water has reached a boil, cover and remove from heat. Let sit 12 minutes.

Transfer eggs to a colander; place under cool running water to stop the cooking. Eggs can be peeled and served immediately.

Cook's Note

Remaining eggs, with shells on, may be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
