Place eggs in a single layer in a pan and cover with cold water by at least 2-inches. Cover and bring to a vigorous boil.
Meanwhile prepare a large bowl filled with ice water that will hold the eggs.
Once the eggs have come to a rollicking boil, turn off the heat and all to sit for 12 minutes (see Tips for variability). Use a slotted spoon to transfer the eggs to the ice water.
Crack the eggs on a firm surface and peel under running water. Refrigerate eggs in an airtight container, either peeled or unpeeled, for up to 5 days. Eggs are ready to eat or use for deviled eggs.

If you have ever tried to peel a hard-boiled egg and had problems, we feel you. It can be a gigantic pain! Luckily we know a solution. Older eggs peel most easily. Buy a dozen and stash them away in the fridge for a week, then make the recipe.
