This is the best hard boiled eggs method you’ll ever need. Learn how to make easy peel hard boiled eggs with creamy yolks and firm whites. Great for breakfast, snacks, meal prep, egg salad, and deviled eggs.
Ingredients
6 large eggs
Water (enough to cover eggs by 1 inch)
Ice (for cooling bath)
Instructions
1. Fill a saucepan with enough water to cover the eggs by one inch and bring it to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
2. Gently lower the eggs into the boiling water using a slotted spoon.
3. Boil uncovered for 9 to 12 minutes depending on desired yolk firmness.
4. Transfer eggs immediately to a bowl of ice water and chill for 10 minutes.

Notes
Use slightly older eggs for easier peeling.
Start with cold eggs from the fridge for consistent results.
Peeling under running water can help release stubborn shell bits.
