Thanks!  The nicely colored yolks are probably due to whatever my nice farmers market people feed their hens.   They pasture them in an organic orange grove so I suspect they are happy chickens!

 

I have found  these 2 methods give comparable results with large eggs.  

Boiling: Direct from the fridge into boiling water for 6.5 minutes, then into ice water.

Steaming: Direct from the fridge into a steamer insert (~1 inch of water already boiling) and steam for 8 min, then into ice water.

Steaming is quicker because I only need to boil a little water vs a whole pot.

 

Not just the color which is gorgeous but the texture of the yolks looks amazing

 

 

edited to add I like your whole though process for the dish.   I do similar things.   "This looks good and would work, toss it in".
