Perfectly Cooked Hard-Boiled Eggs
Equipment
Ingredients
- Fresh eggs
Instructions
- Place the eggs in a saucepan and add enough water to cover them completely.
- Bring the water to a boil over high heat.
- Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer.
- Let the eggs simmer for 15 minutes.
- While the eggs are simmering, prepare a bowl of cold water.
- After 15 minutes, remove the saucepan from the heat and transfer the eggs immediately to the bowl of cold water using a slotted spoon.
- Let the eggs cool in the cold water for a few minutes.
- This will stop the cooking process and make the eggs easier to peel.
- Once cooled, gently tap each egg on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel under running water to remove the shell more easily.
- Your perfectly cooked hard-boiled eggs are ready to be enjoyed as a snack, added to salads, or used in your favorite recipes.
