The length of time needed to boil eggs depends on how you want the yolk cooked.
For soft boiled eggs with a runny yolk, boil eggs for 6 minutes. For medium boiled eggs with a semi-solid yolk, boil for 7-8 minutes. For hard boiled eggs with a fully set yolk, boil for 9-12 minutes.
Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water using a slotted spoon. Once the eggs are in the water, set a timer for the desired cooking time. Once the timer goes off, immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
After cooling for a few minutes, peel the shells under cool running water. Your perfectly boiled eggs are now ready to eat!
