Hard-boiled egg

Here’s a simple, reliable way to make hard-boiled eggs 🥚

Classic Hard-Boiled Eggs

Ingredients

• Eggs
• Water

Instructions

1. Place eggs in a saucepan in a single layer.
2. Add cold water to cover eggs by about 1 inch.
3. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
4. Once boiling, turn off heat, cover the pan, and let sit:
   • 10–12 minutes for fully hard-boiled
5. Drain hot water and transfer eggs to cold water or an ice bath for 5 minutes.
6. 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
