Boil the Water: Fill a medium-sized pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat.

Add the Eggs: Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water using a spoon. Reduce the heat to medium-high to maintain a gentle boil.

Cook the Eggs: Set a timer for exactly 6 minutes for jammy eggs. Adjust the time slightly for softer or firmer yolks.

Prepare the Ice Bath: While the eggs are cooking, fill a bowl with ice and water to create an ice bath.

Chill the Eggs: Once the timer goes off, immediately transfer the eggs to the ice bath to stop the cooking process. Let them sit for about 3 minutes.

Peel and Serve: Gently tap the eggs on a hard surface to crack the shells, then peel them under running water for easier removal. Slice in half, season with salt and pepper if desired, and enjoy!
