🥗Healthier: egg whites

💰Cheaper: generic brand eggs

Egg whites reduce cholesterol while providing protein.

Fill a stainless steel pot with enough water to cover the eggs by about an inch and bring it to a boil.

Remove the eggs from the fridge to let them warm up for a couple of minutes.

Prepare an icy cold water bath for the eggs to stop them from cooking.

Once the water is boiling, turn the heat to low while adding the eggs to prevent them from bouncing and cracking.

After placing the eggs in the pot, turn the heat back up to boil.

Start a timer as soon as the eggs are added to the boiling water.

Remove the eggs at 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 minutes for different levels of doneness.

After a minute of cooling in the ice water bath, write the cook time on each egg's shell to keep track of them.

To peel the egg, start at the thick end where there is usually an air bubble, and run the egg under cold water while peeling.

Slice open the eggs to check the doneness: 6 minutes for soft, 8 minutes for slightly firmer, 10 minutes for a soft hard-boiled, 12 minutes for a firmer hard-boiled, and 14 minutes for a traditional hard-boiled egg.
