recipe notes
to get the perfect jammy egg, i boil my eggs for 6 minutes exactly, then shock in an ice bath. the trick to getting egg shells perfectly off your eggs without damaging them is to get your eggs very cold. the colder your ice bath is, the better the shell will release from your egg.

Instructions
