Bring to a rolling boil on medium high heat. heat, gently as water begins to boil for a couple of minutes. Cover, and remove from heat. Let stand about 5 minutes. Place eggs in a bowl of icecold water to chill promptly to help yolks stay bright yellow. Chill for a few minutes in the cold water until the egg is completely cooled. This is an extremely important step which prevents the greenishing from forming on the surface of the yolk over time. If the egg is not chilled immediately after cooking an unsightly dark greenish ring will eventually appear on the outside of the yolk.
