🥚 Stovetop Method (Most Reliable)

What you need:

• Eggs

• Water

• Ice (for ice bath)

Steps:

1. Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan.

2. Add enough cold water to cover them by about 1 inch.

3. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.

4. Once boiling, turn off heat, cover the pot, and let sit:

   • 9–10 minutes → slightly creamy yolk

   • 11–12 minutes → fully firm yolk

5. Transfer eggs immediately to an ice bath for 5–10 minutes.

6. Peel and enjoy!
