Fill a pot with enough water to cover the eggs by at least 1 inch.
Place the pot on the stove on medium-high heat.
Once the water is boiling, gently place the eggs in it using a slotted spoon. Make sure that the eggs are in one layer and not packed in the pot too tightly.
Cook for 8 minutes.
Remove the eggs from the pot and gently place in a bowl of ice water.
Cool eggs for 10 minutes before peeling or storing them.
Notes
There are numerous methods to make peeling eggs easier, however, the most reliable method is simply to boil older eggs.
