Boiled Eggs

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place eggs in a saucepan of boiling water using a spoon to avoid cracking.

  2. Boil for 3 minutes for soft eggs or 10 minutes for hard eggs.

  3. Alternatively, start with cold water and bring it to a boil.

  4. For custard-like consistency, let the eggs sit in boiling water for 5 to 7 minutes.
