The Perfect Recipe for Hard Boiled Eggs
My Favorite No Fail Approach for Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs Every Time
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs (or desired amount)
Instructions
- Decide how many eggs you want to cook and then choose a pan that allows them to lay in one layer on the bottom of the pan.
- Place the eggs in the pan and then fill the pan with enough water to cover them by 1 inch. Place the pan over high heat and bring to a boil. Once the water is really bubbling and steaming, remove from the heat and cover the pan. Let them sit in the hot water for 12 minutes to finish cooking. (Set a timer so you don't forget.)
- After 12 minutes, pour off the hot water by tipping the pan into the sink. Then run cold water over the eggs for several seconds. When they are cool enough to handle transfer them to a bowl and place it in the refrigerator until you are ready to eat them or use them in your favorite recipe. Alternatively you can plunge them into a bowl of ice water and let them sit for several minutes.
