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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
- You can refrigerate (unpeeled) eggs up to a week.
- 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
