Gather all ingredients.

Place water into a 3-quart saucepan with a lid. Place over high heat and bring to a low boil. Carefully place eggs in the water.

Cover pan immediately, reduce heat to medium-high, and cook for 9 1/2 minutes.

Remove pan from heat and cool eggs down with cold running water, tipping out the water, and continuing to run cold water over the eggs until they are cool.

Enjoy!
