🥚 Hard-Boiled Eggs
A hard-boiled egg has a fully set white and yolk—great for breakfast, salads, or meal prep.
⏱️ Foolproof Method (No Green Ring)
- Place eggs in a saucepan in a single layer.
- Cover with cold water (about 1 inch above eggs).
- Bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, turn off heat, cover, and let sit:
- 10–12 minutes for large eggs
- Transfer immediately to an ice bath for 5–10 minutes.
This stops cooking and helps prevent the gray-green ring around the yolk.
🧂 Easy Peeling Tips
- Use eggs that are not super fresh (about a week old peel easier).
- Crack and peel under running water.
- Start peeling from the wider end (there’s usually an air pocket).
🧊 Storage
- Keep unpeeled eggs in the fridge up to 7 days.
- Peeled eggs: store in a sealed container with a damp paper towel, up to 5 days.
