Easy Hard Boiled Eggs Recipe

This perfect hard boiled eggs recipe will leave you with amazing boiled eggs that are great for whatever you need them for.

I love eating eggs! Ever since I was a little kid I enjoyed eggs. I didn’t care if they were fried, hard boiled, over-easy, scrambled, as an omelet, or prepared as deviled eggs.

These perfect hard boiled eggs are great for egg salad, or just sliced and put in a salad, or maybe you just want to peel them and eat them plain. Whatever the need, they are super easy to make, if I can do it, you can do it. Let’s get started!

Ingredients

• 1 dozen eggs
• 1 tsp. salt 5g
• Water enough to cover the eggs by one inch
• Ice to chill the eggs

Instructions

Add the eggs to a large pot. If you are not making a dozen you can use a smaller pot. They should be in a single layer on the bottom of the pot.

Next pour in enough water to cover the eggs by 1 inch. Then add in the salt. And place the pot on the stovetop burner or a hotplate.

Set the burner to medium-high heat and bring the water to a full boil. Once it boils, allow it to boil for 3 minutes, then turn the heat off and remove the pot from the heat. Place the pot on another burner or a hot pad and allow the pot to sit undisturbed for 12 minutes.

Now after 12 minutes drain the hot water from the pot. Add more water and then drain that water. Once again, add water and then add a bunch of ice. This will create an ice bath and chill down the eggs and prevent them from overcooking. Leave the eggs in the cold water for about 10 minutes.

Store them back in the carton in the fridge for about a week, or peel them immediately and use them however you like. enjoy!
