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".
