Fill a medium pot with water and bring to a boil over medium high heat. Make sure the water will cover the eggs by at least one inch.

When the water starts to boil carefully add eggs, one at a time with a slotted spoon.

Set a timer for 4 minutes 30 seconds.

When the timer is done drain the water and quickly rinse eggs with cold water to stop them from cooking.

Place egg in egg cup and crack and peel the shell off the top of the egg.

Salt and pepper to taste.
