There's certainly more than one way to crack — err cook — an egg. With this easy guide, your Easter basket will be overflowing with perfectly prepared hard-boiled eggs.
1 Fill the Pot
Place eggs in a single layer in a pot, making sure they have a bit of wiggle room. Fill the pot with cold water to 1 inch over the eggs.
2 Bring to a Simmer
Place the pot over high heat and bring to a gentle simmer. The water should have just a few small bubbles.
3 Set Your Timer
Reduce the heat and maintain water at a gentle simmer. Set the timer and cook the eggs for 10 minutes.
4 Let Eggs Cool
Run the eggs under cold water until they are cool to the touch. Or you can fill the pot with cold water and allow the eggs to cool for about 10 minutes.
5 Peel the Eggs
It’s easiest to peel hard-boiled eggs when they are still slightly warm. If they aren’t already cracked from shaking them around the pan as the cooled, gently tap each egg on a flat surface to crack. Starting at the wider end of the egg, gently ease off the shell with your thumb and fingers.
6 Serve & Enjoy
Once peeled, the classic Easter prep for hard-boiled eggs is to make them into deviled eggs, but feel free to be creative. You can make egg salad, pickle them or add them to a stir-fry — the options are endless.
