How to Make How To Boil An Egg
- Place one large egg in a small saucepan.
- Add enough cold water to cover the egg by about 1 inch (2.5 cm).
- Place the saucepan on a stove burner over medium-high heat.
- Bring the water to a rolling boil.
- Once boiling, immediately reduce the heat to low, maintaining a gentle simmer.
- For soft-boiled eggs, simmer for 2-3 minutes. For hard-boiled eggs, simmer for 10-15 minutes.
- Carefully remove the egg using a slotted spoon and transfer it to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Once cool enough to handle, gently tap the egg on a hard surface to crack the shell.
- Peel the egg under cold running water for easy peeling.
- Serve and enjoy! Refrigerate leftover hard-boiled eggs within one hour.
