Ingredients

• 2 large eggs (the fresher, the better for easier peeling)
• Salt and pepper to taste (be generous, we're fighting sugar here, not flavor)

Instructions

1. Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch (starting with cold water prevents cracking).
2. Bring to a boil over high heat (watching water boil is not actually as boring as they say when you're having sugar withdrawals).
3. Once boiling, remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 9-12 minutes (9 for medium eggs, 12 for large eggs – set a timer or you'll forget).
4. Transfer eggs to an ice bath to cool (the thermal shock makes them easier to peel).
5. Peel and season with salt and pepper if desired (or get fancy with everything bagel seasoning).
