Boiled Eggs
Ingredients
Directions
Fill a small saucepan with cold water.
Set it over a medium heat and bring the water to a boil.
Once boiling, gently add the eggs.
In cold weather, warm the eggs slightly to prevent cracking.
Count to twelve, then cover the saucepan tightly.
Remove from heat and let sit for eight minutes for a perfectly cooked egg.
