Instructions (7 steps)

01Use a small sauce pan large enough to hold the four large eggs in a single layer.
02Add just enough water to the saucepan so that there is just 1-1.5 inches of water in the pan once the eggs are added.
03Cover the saucepan and bring the water to a boil over high heat.
04Once the water is boiling, remove the eggs from your refrigerator and place them gently into the boiling water. 
05Place the cover back onto the saucepan and allow the eggs to boil for exactly 5 minutes.
06Remove the eggs from the boiling water and place directly into a bowl of ice cold water for 1 minute.
07Place each egg into an egg cup and serve with your choice of sides.
