Hard-boiled eggs

🥚 Hard-Boiled Eggs

Ingredients

• Eggs (as many as you like)

• Water

• Ice (for ice bath)

Instructions

1. Place eggs in a pot
   Cover with cold water so there’s about 1 inch above the eggs.

2. Bring to a boil
   Heat over medium-high until water boils.

3. Turn off heat & cover

   • For large eggs: let sit 9–12 minutes (9 for slightly softer yolks, 12 for fully firm).

   • Adjust time for smaller or larger eggs.

4. Ice bath
   Immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water for at least 5 minutes to stop cooking.

5. Peel and enjoy
   Gently tap and roll eggs to crack the shell, then peel under running water if needed.

Tips

• Older eggs peel easier than very fresh ones

• Store unpeeled in the fridge up to 1 week

• Use for snacks, salads, deviled eggs, or sandwiches

If you want, I can give a foolproof method for peeling eggs perfectly every time. Do you want me to?
