Instructions

Step 1
Put the eggs in a single layer in a pan and cover them with room temperature water so it comes about 4cm above the eggs. Cover the pan with a lid and bring it to the boil, then turn the heat off and let stand for 12 mins.
Step 2
After this time, scoop the eggs out of the pan and put them into a bowl of very cold water to halt the cooking process. Once cool, peel and use as desired.
