Notes
Dressing adapted from tasty.com
To make the perfect medium boiled eggs, place eggs in a saucepan that you fill with cool tap water until water comes an inch above eggs. Add a pinch of baking soda, bring to a boil, then cover and turn off the heat. Keep the eggs in the hot water for 6 minutes for egg yolk doneness like that pictured, or longer and shorter to your taste. Immediately plunge eggs into a bowl of ice cold water and once cool, peel.
The baking soda helps make peeling easier, and so does submerging the eggs in ice water once cooking time is over.
