Ingredients
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp salt (optional)
Directions
-
Place eggs in a single layer in a pot. Cover with cold water by about an inch. Lid on.
-
Bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
-
Remove from heat and let stand 6-14 minutes (adjust slightly for egg size).
-
Drain and run cold water over eggs until cooled to prevent green rings on the yolks.
Notes
- Peeling: Older eggs peel easier. Crack the shell all over, roll between your hands, and peel from the large end under running water.
- Storage: Keep shell-on in a sealed container for up to 1 week in the fridge.
- Raw or cooked? Spin it — hard boiled eggs spin smoothly, raw eggs wobble.
