The best eggs are to be found at the farmers' market, I like the eggs from Highland Hills Farm, and Kaki Farm. The eggs are two to three times more expensive than regular grocery stores, but they are the real deal. The yolk is bright orange(as it should be), and they taste like how eggs do in the rest of the world. You are paying for the fact that these eggs are the outcome of nature's natural rate of production, which is inherently less efficient, but produces a far superior product.
I boil the eggs for six and a half minute, I prefer a slightly runny yolk. I sprinkle them with Indian kala namak(literal translation: black salt, although it is pink in color!). It turns black when you sprinkle it on the eggs, not sure what kind of a reaction is taking place. It is known to have trace amounts of iron sulfide and hydrogen sulfide, the latter is toxic in high concentrations, but the amount is pretty low in the black salt that it apparently does not pose any health risk. You can just use plain old iodized salt and skip this risky black salt business.
