Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • Water to cover by 1 inch
  • Ice + cold water for ice bath

    • Instructions

  • Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Cover with cold water by 1 inch.
  • Bring to a full boil over medium-high heat.
  • Once boiling, remove from heat, cover with a lid, and let sit for exactly 11 minutes .
  • While eggs sit, fill a large bowl with ice and cold water.
  • Transfer eggs immediately to the ice bath. Cool at least 10 minutes.
  • Peel under cool running water. Store peeled or unpeeled. Meal Prep Notes
  • Unpeeled: up to 1 week in the fridge.
  • Peeled: up to 5 days in a container covered with water.
  • The ice bath is not optional — it stops cooking and prevents the green ring on the yolk.
  • Use as a snack, slice over roasted veggies, or chop into a scramble.
