Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs

I have always been a huge fan of hard boiled eggs. I love to eat them for breakfast with sea salt & pepper...and I especially LOVE using them for deviled eggs. If you've ever overcooked your hard bolied eggs, you probably noticed that the yolk gets dried out and turns an odd greyish color-which is not very appetizing!

Here are a few simple steps to ensure a perfect hard boiled egg everytime!

1. First, gently place your eggs in a pot and add just enough cold water to cover them completely. If you use too much water, they can float and break during the boiling process.

2. As soon as the water begins to boil, remove the pot from heat and cover with a lid.

3. Let your eggs sit in the covered pot for 15 minutes.

4. At the 15 minute mark, remove the eggs from the pot one by one, and place in a bowl of ice water. This will stop further cooking of your eggs.

5. Place the the bowl of ice water and eggs in your refrigerator and let sit for at least 30-60 minutes.

6. To remove the shells from your eggs, gently tap on a hard surface and roll between your hands to loosen. Then peel while holding the egg under a stream of running water.
