How to Make High Altitude Hard Boiled Eggs

Place eggs in a medium-sized saucepan. Add enough cold water to completely cover the eggs by about 1 inch.
Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat, ensuring the saucepan is covered.
Once boiling, immediately remove the saucepan from the heat. Keep the lid on and let the eggs sit undisturbed for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, transfer the eggs to a bowl filled with ice water to stop the cooking process. Let them sit in the ice bath for a few minutes until cool enough to handle.
