The perfect hard boiled egg!


 
 
Finally. I did it. I figured out a way to make the PERFECT hard boiled eggs! I usually make eggs about once a week and I’ll make about half dozen at a time. I do this so that I have them in the fridge throughout the week as an easy snack to grab in the morning on my way to work or after a work out!

What you will need:
·         Pot with a fitted lid
·         Water
·         Eggs
·         Bowl of ice water

**This recipe is the same whether you are making one egg or a dozen  

1.       Start by placing your eggs in the pot and fill with water. Fill up until the water completely covers the top of the egg. Also make sure that the eggs are laid flat in the pot. (not on top of one another) Leave the lid OFF the pot for now. Turn on high and wait to boil!
 
2.       As soon as the water comes to a rolling boil – Turn off heat and put the lid on the pot.

3.       Set timer for 12 minutes

4.       While your eggs cook for the 12 minutes -fill up a bowl with ice water and set aside.

5.       As soon as 12 minutes are up remove eggs from water and place in ice water to cool for a couple minutes.

6.       Immediately start peeling the eggs. The easiest way to peel the eggs is to roll the egg on its side allowing the egg to crack the entire way around. This will allow you to peel the egg easily all in several big pieces. Peel all the eggs at this time – if you leave the eggs in the shell they will be MUCH harder to peel later.
 
7.       Enjoy your boiled eggs!
