Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Place eggs in boiling water individually using a large spoon, making sure not to break them. Continue to boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 25 minutes.

Step 2

Fill a large pot halfway with water, making sure the pot is large enough to contain eggs in a single layer. Bring water to a boil over high heat.

Step 3

Cool eggs under cold water, then peel.
