Description

Learn how to Boil the Perfect Egg with this simple and easy tutorial. They come out great every single


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 organic eggs (or however many you want to boil – but remember, eggs must fit on a single row at the bottom of the pot)

Instructions

  1. Add eggs to a pot, cover by 1″ with cold water and bring water to a boil. Turn heat off and immediately cover pot with a lid. Let eggs sit in boiled water for 10 minutes.
  2. Drain and immediately rinse with very cold water for about 2 minutes. I like to add iced water to the pot afterwards and let eggs sit for another minute or two.
  3. Pat dry eggs, add them to a bowl, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, as this helps make the peeling process a lot easier. Enjoy right away or keep refrigerated for up to 1 week.

Notes

  1. You can refrigerate (unpeeled) eggs up to a week.
  2. For different types of boiled eggs:
    • Runny soft-boiled: let sit in boiled water for 3 minutes.
    • Slightly runny soft-boiled: let sit in boiled water for 4 minutes.
    • Firm soft-boiled: let sit in boiled water for 6 minutes.
    • Firm and creamy hard-boiled: let sit in boiled water for 10 minutes (this is my favorite!)
    • Very firm hard-broiled: let sit in boiled water for 15
