Here’s a simple, reliable way to make hard-boiled eggs 🥚
Classic Hard-Boiled Eggs
Ingredients
- Eggs
- Water
Instructions
- Place eggs in a saucepan in a single layer.
- Add cold water to cover eggs by about 1 inch.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, turn off heat, cover the pan, and let sit:
- 10–12 minutes for fully hard-boiled
- Drain hot water and transfer eggs to cold water or an ice bath for 5 minutes.
- Peel or store once cool.
Easy Peeling Tips
- Crack the shell and peel from the wide end (air pocket).
- Peel under running water for less sticking.
- Slightly older eggs peel easier than very fresh ones.
Storage
- Unpeeled: up to 7 days in the fridge
- Peeled: 2–3 days, covered
