First, you want a shallow pan. About 8x3". Fill it with 4-6 cups of cold water and bring it to a boil.

Next, you want to push a thumbtack or push pin to create a tiny hole in the rounder side of the egg.

Lower the eggs into the boiling water and cook at a simmer for 6 minutes. Pour out the water and move in the pan to slightly crack the egg shells. Let them cool thoroughly.

Once they're cool, shell them under cold running water and place them in a bowl of cold water until ready to serve.
