No matter how you like your eggs, hard boiled is definitely a versatile way to make them. They’re the perfect breakfast, snack, salad add-in, and more!
But learning how to boil an egg is something that has to be learned. If you’ve ever tried to make hard boil eggs before and they were too squishy, too firm, or don’t peel well then this will solve your problems!
My husband and I go through several dozen hard-boiled eggs each month and I’ve come up with some tips on how to create perfect hard boiled eggs to share as well!
And when we’re doing a low carb diet, we go through three dozen eggs a week. They really are the perfect protein.
Eggs are nutritionally dense and just so cheap! They are just so versatile!
How long do you boil eggs to make deviled eggs?
All deviled eggs start with hard-boiled eggs, so you boil the eggs for 10 minutes.
What is better for hardboiled eggs – fresh or older eggs?
Fresh eggs are harder to peel. As eggs age, they become easier to peel, so use the older eggs first.
How to make hardboiled eggs:
Place your eggs into the pot first in a single layer. Use just enough hot water to cover, then lightly sprinkle with salt.
Bring to a boil. Cook eggs for 10 minutes, then turn off the heat.
Allow to sit in the pot and cover for another 10 to 12 minutes minutes. This is a really important step so you don’t overcook your eggs.
If you want more soft boiled eggs, go for a shorter time.
Prepare a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking of the eggs. Add eggs to the ice bath. Set a timer for 10 to 15 minutes and allow them to continue cooling.
Peel eggs under cool, running water.
What causes the dark ring around cooked egg yolks?
If you end up with a green ring around the yolks, the eggs likely boiled for too long. It will taste just fine and the egg white will still be visually perfect.
How long are hard boiled eggs good for?
These eggs will stay fresh for up to a week in the fridge. You can peel them or leave them in their shelves and they’ll both still be fresh for a week.
