Ingredients

3 large eggs
pinch of salt and pepper
chives chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Place a steamer insert inside a large pot with water and bring to a boil over HIGH heat. Add the eggs to the steamer basket, cover, and cook for about 14 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.
While the eggs are being steamed, prepare a large bowl filled with ice cubes and water. Once the eggs are done, transfer them to the ice-water bath. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before peeling.
Gently tap the eggs all over to crack the shell. Remove the shell with your fingers.
Cut the steamed eggs in half and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped chives.

Notes

I "divide and conquer" my boiling water to cut down on time. I put a small amount in the pot on the stove and another small amount in my kettle, which I then add to the pot upon reaching boiling point.
Take the size of your eggs into account when calculating boiling time.
Don't overload your basket; the eggs will shift while boiling and could crack each other.
