Prepare the eggs. In a saucepan large enough to fit the eggs in a single layer, add about 2-3 inches of water. Bring the water to a boil. Once the water reaches a boil, gently lower the eggs into the water using either a slotted spoon or a mesh strainer.

Boil the eggs for 12 minutes. While the eggs are boiling, prepare an ice bath by filling a large bowl with cold water and ice. Use a slotted spoon or a mesh strainer to remove the eggs from the boiling water to the ice bath. Let the eggs cool for about 4-7 minutes. Remove the eggs from the ice bath, crack and peel the eggs.
