Perfectly Boiled Eggs with Lemon for Easy Peeling

Perfectly Boiled Eggs with Lemon for Easy Peeling

Ingredients:

– 6 large eggs
– 1 lemon, sliced
– Water (enough to cover the eggs)
– Ice water (for cooling)

Directions:

1. **Prepare the pot:**
Place the eggs in a single layer at the bottom of a medium-sized pot. Add enough water to cover the eggs by about 1 inch. Add the lemon slices to the water to help with peeling later.

2. **Bring to a boil:**
Set the pot over medium-high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil.

3. **Cook the eggs:**
Once the water is boiling, turn off the heat, cover the pot with a lid, and let the eggs sit in the hot water:
– 6 minutes for soft-boiled eggs
– 10 minutes for medium-boiled eggs
– 12 minutes for hard-boiled eggs
