How to Hard Boil Eggs
Add the eggs to a pot and cover them with cool water. You want the water to reach one inch above the eggs. Bring the eggs to a boil. Once the water comes to a boil, cover the eggs and turn off the heat. Let them sit in the hot water for 10-12 minutes. 12 minutes will yield a firmer yolk.
Drain the eggs and transfer them to a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Leave them in the ice bath for at least 12-15 minutes before you peel the eggs.
