The Hard Boiled Egg

Eggs get a bad rap, but really they make a great high protein snack or supplement to your diet. A hard boiled egg along with a slice of toast or some fruit makes a great breakfast. You can also chop it up and throw it on a salad. It seems that most people typically undercook (dark yellow yolk) or over cook (gray tint around outside of yolk) the eggs... so here's the simple technique that works like a charm.


Hard Boiled Eggs



Place up to 6 eggs in 2 quart sauce pan*

Cover with cold water

Bring to a boil

Turn off heat, cover and let stand for 15 minutes

Run cold water over cooked eggs for 30 seconds

Cover eggs with cold water, add a handful of ice cubes

Let sit until eggs have completely cooled. (about an hour)

Remove eggs, dry and store in refridgerator.

* More than 6 eggs at a time can crowd the pot and cause uneven cooking.
