Hard-Boiled Eggs
I found a recipe in the All You Magazine last year for making hard-boiled eggs, so I guess I’m not the only one who had issues making them. Yes, I used to have a hard time making hard-boiled eggs. I used to boil the eggs in hot water, but that makes them rubbery. This recipe works every time for me.
This is what I do. I place eggs in a single layer in a sauce pan. Cover the top of the eggs with an inch of water. Place a lid on the pot and heat over medium heat. Remove the pan from the heat as soon as the water starts to boil. Let stand for 15 minutes for hard-boiled eggs, if you want soft boiled eggs then the time is 1-4 minutes. Drain the water from the pan and then run cold water over the eggs. I do this until the egg is cooled. I then refrigerate until I am ready to serve the eggs. That’s it. The shells do not seem to crack doing it this way.
Good luck and enjoy!
