Place the eggs in a saucepan and add enough water to cover them completely.

Bring the water to a boil over high heat.

Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer.

Let the eggs simmer for 15 minutes.

While the eggs are simmering, prepare a bowl of cold water.

After 15 minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat and transfer the eggs immediately to the bowl of cold water using a slotted spoon.

Let the eggs cool in the cold water for a few minutes.

This will stop the cooking process and make the eggs easier to peel.

Once cooled, gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel under running water to remove the shell more easily.

Your perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs are ready to be enjoyed as a snack, added to salads, or used in your favorite recipes.
