Here’s my favorite tried and true method for eggs! <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Knowing exactly how long to boil eggs can get a little tricky to get the perfectly cooked golden yoke. To get perfectly cooked yolks, bring the eggs to a boil, then turn off the heat. Let them sit in the water, with the lid on, for 12 minutes for large eggs or 14 minutes for extra-large eggs.<\/p>\n
