  • Turn the heat to high and bring the water to a gentle boil. Once the water bubbles, reduce the heat to a simmer.
    Put a timer on for 8 minutes for the eggs to cook at a simmer.

  • Now drain away the hot water and refill with cold water, this helps to cool the eggs quickly. Leave for a few minutes to cool.
