\"Perfect<\/p>\n

Here’s the good news: perfect hard boiled eggs are easy to make. …And the bad news: so are less-than-perfect ones. I don’t know about you, but I’ve certainly cooked my fair share of the latter. When you try to peel away the shell, half the whites come along with it, or when you cut it open, the yolk is slightly green instead of brilliant yellow. Pretty disappointing, if you ask me.<\/p>\n

See, cooking perfect hard boiled eggs is easy, but that doesn’t mean that the process you use doesn’t matter. After years of trial and error, I’m happy to say that this method for how to make hard boiled eggs works every time! The yolks are always sunshine yellow, and the shells slide right off. Whether you’re getting ready for Easter, prepping for Passover, or just on the hunt for a protein-packed snack, this easy hard boiled egg recipe is guaranteed to please.<\/p>\n

How to Make Hard Boiled Eggs<\/h2>\n

Follow these simple steps to make perfect hard boiled eggs every single time:<\/p>\n

First, boil the eggs.<\/strong> Place them in a single layer in a pot or saucepan and cover them with cold water by 1 inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Then, let the eggs sit in the hot water.<\/strong> As soon as the water reaches a rolling boil, turn off the heat and cover the pot. Leave the eggs in the hot water for anywhere from 10-12 minutes, depending on how you like your eggs. The 10-minute eggs will have vibrant, creamy yolks, while the 12-minute yolks will be paler and opaque, with a chalkier texture.<\/p>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

Finally, move them to an ice bath.<\/strong> When the time is up, drain the eggs and transfer them to a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. Leave them in the ice bath for at least 14 minutes before you peel the eggs.<\/p>\n

If you’re not planning to eat the eggs right away, feel free to leave them in the shells and store them in the fridge. But even if this is the case, don’t cut the ice bath short! It’s crucial for stopping the cooking process and making the eggs easy to peel later on.<\/p>\n
