Okay… so really this is the easiest way to make hard boiled eggs\u00a0for me. \u00a0<\/em>I feel like I’ve read a lot of different ways to make them- some of which sound more complicated than they do easy. \u00a0It really isn’t that hard, and I don’t have to do anything special like baking them in the oven, or covering them for precisely 10 minutes after you remove them from heat… and I have never had any issues with them being overcooked. \u00a0Or under cooked for that matter.<\/p>\n

I do understand why there are so many different ways to make them though, each claiming to be the best or easiest. \u00a0It’s because if you forget about them while they’re boiling and they get overcooked, the yoke loses its attractive coloring and they are nearly impossible to peel. \u00a0Seriously, it’s like the shell is super glued to the egg! \u00a0And then, by the time you’re done peeling, half the egg has come off with the shell, so it ends up looking quite sad. \u00a0This doesn’t have to happen though, I promise! \u00a0Here is, what I have found to be, the easiest way to make hard boiled eggs.<\/span><\/p>\n

First, take some eggs.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7149\"<\/a>I am only using four today. \u00a0Put however many eggs you want into a pot and fill it with water until the eggs are covered with an extra 1\/4 inch of water above the eggs.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7152\"<\/a>Next, boil the eggs on high heat until you see quite a few of these little bubbles…<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7158\"<\/a>Once you see these little bubbles, set your timer for 10 minutes. \u00a0<\/strong>Now you can go do whatever you want for ten minutes until the timer goes off. \u00a0Just let the eggs boil for the ten minutes.<\/p>\n

When the timer goes off, dump the water into the sink and run some cold water over the eggs.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7159\"<\/a>After running cold water over the eggs a couple times, and dumping it out, fill it back up with cold water and add ice cubes. \u00a0Like this:<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7160\"<\/a>Now you can walk away from the eggs again for 15 minutes. \u00a0That’s about how long it takes for the eggs to cool to where you can eat them right away. \u00a0If you don’t want to eat them right away, you can always place them in Tupperware and put them in the fridge until you want to use them.<\/p>\n

Once you’re ready to eat them, they should be done perfectly. \u00a0\"IMG_7170\"<\/a> \"IMG_7171\"<\/a>Ta da! \u00a0Look at that yoke… and the egg is all still intact :)<\/p>\n

\u00a0I like to whip up hard boiled eggs to have for breakfast on the weekends. \u00a0Paired with toast, cereal, or whatever else makes for a satisfying start to your day. \u00a0Here we had them with Cheerios and apple juice. \u00a0I love breakfast :)<\/p>\n

\"IMG_7167\"<\/a>Wishing you all good luck in your future hard-boiled egg endeavors!<\/p>\n
