Description
Hard Boiled egg recipe – 10 minute boil time, just requires water, a pot and a colander!
Ingredients
- Enough water to cover the eggs
- However many eggs you want to boil (I usually do a dozen)
Instructions
- Boil the water until it’s at a nice rolling boil
- Reduce heat to medium and add eggs gently 2 at a time with a ladle
- Once last egg is in the water, note time or set timer for 10 minutes
- 10 minutes works well for thin shelled white eggs from the supermarket. If using cage free or farm fresh eggs with thicker shells, boil for 12 minutes
- After boiling time is reached, turn off heat and gently remove eggs
- Place in a metal colander and rinse with cool water for about 30 seconds with sprayer
- Let drain and cool for 25 minutes for thin shelled eggs or 35 minutes for thick shelled egg
- Peel and Enjoy!
Notes
- If you start peeling and they are falling apart and still feel pretty warm, let them cool another 5 minutes and try again.
- In the picture above I did 12 eggs and only the first one did not peel smoothly. I let the rest cool a bit longer and the others peeled perfectly.
- I usually peel them before I store in the fridge. To me the shell seems like it shrinks in the cold and is harder to peel the next day.
