You looking for hard boiled eggs or soft boiled eggs?

Hard boiled eggs should cook 12-15 minutes.

Soft boiled eggs should cook 4-6 minutes.

The real trick to getting it right is bringing the water to a hard boil, then reducing the heat to just below simmering. You need to do that so the eggs don't crack as you cook them.
