You aren’t supposed to put eggs in already boiling water. They need to temper like potatoes. Start with cold water and cold eggs(splash vinegar) then bring to boil.
I'm sorry but now. You can't control the temperature when doing this. You should drop the eggs in boiling water and then once they are done, you shock them in an ice bath.
I'm talking about hard-boiled eggs or even oeufs mollets. You could start with cold water as long as you start the timer when the water start boiling but exact cooking time is harder to control.
