  1. Leave the eggs out for 10 to 15 minutes to reach room temperature.
  2. Fill a pot with enough water to cover the eggs, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar and bring to a boil.
  3. Lower the eggs gently into the boiling water, then reduce the heat slightly to keep a gentle boil.
  4. For medium eggs, boil for 8 to 9 minutes. Adjust the time for larger eggs.
  5. Move the cooked eggs to ice-cold water for 5 to 10 minutes.
  6. Gently tap the eggs to crack the shells, peel them and season with salt and pepper.
