Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan or pot.
Fill the pot with enough cold water to cover the eggs by about an inch.
Place the pot on the stove over medium-high heat and bring the water to a boil.
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, turn off the heat and cover the pot with a lid.
Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 9-12 minutes, depending on desired doneness.
Prepare an ice bath by filling a bowl with ice and water.
After the eggs have finished cooking, transfer them to the ice bath to cool for at least 5 minutes.
Peel and enjoy or store in the refrigerator for later use.
