Quick And Easy Cooking

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!
