Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 Put about 3 inches water in a 5- to 6-quart pan; bring to a boil over high heat.
Step #2 With a slotted spoon, 1 at a time, quickly & carefully immerse 12 large eggs in the shell, in water for 8 seconds; lift out.
Step #3 Pour out all but 1 inch water from the pan; reduce heat so bubbles on the pan bottom pop to the surface only every once in awhile.
Step #4 Crack eggs 1 at a time, holding each shell close to the water surface as you break it open to let egg slide carefully into water.
Step #5 If necessary, cook half the eggs at a time to keep from crowding.
Step #6 Cook to desired doneness (poke carefully with a spoon to check), 3 to 4 mins for soft-cooked eggs.
Step #7 With slotted spoon, lift eggs 1 at a time from water & as soon as possible immerse in a bowl of cold water.
Step #8 If making up to 2 days ahead, wrap bowl airtight & chill in the fridge.
Step #9 To reheat eggs, immerse in hot (about 120°) water until warm to touch, 5 to 10 mins.
Step #10 Lift out with slotted spoon.
Step #11 Nutritional analysis per egg.
