To make hard-boiled eggs, add the eggs to a saucepan in a single layer and fill it with water to cover the eggs, plus 2 inches. Bring the pot to a boil with the lid on, and then turn off the heat. Keep covered and let sit for 10 to 12 minutes before transferring them to an ice bath to cool for peeling. If you’d like to make this recipe often, you can cook the hard-boiled eggs ahead of time and store them in the fridge as they last for up to 5 days in the fridge.
