🍳 How to Boil the Perfect Egg (Every Time!)
🔥 Step-by-Step Guide
Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan.
Cover with cold water (at least 1 inch above eggs).
Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, cover and remove from heat.
Let sit:
6 minutes → soft yolk, custardy center
9 minutes → creamy, slightly firm yolk (ideal for slicing)
12 minutes → fully set, no runny parts
Transfer to ice water for 5 mins — stops cooking and makes peeling easy!
💡 Pro Tip: Older eggs peel more easily than fresh ones.

Grab a pot, some water, and a few eggs.
Because greatness — and good health — often starts with something small, white, and golden inside. 💛
