perfect hard-boiled egg
They pack protein into a salad, are a fantastic on-the-go breakfast and a necessity for making deviled eggs. Hard-boiled eggs are fantastic but can be intimidating. Overcook them and there's a green ring around the yolk. It's harmless to eat, but doesn't look pretty and is caused by boiling the egg too long. Follow these directions and you'll have the perfect hard-boiled eggs.

How To Make perfect hard-boiled egg
-
Step 1Place eggs in a saucepan and fill with cold water. Water should just cover the eggs.
-
Step 2Bring the water to a boil on medium-high heat.
-
Step 3Turn the burner off and place a lid on the saucepan.
-
Step 4Set the timer for 13 minutes.
-
Step 5When the timer goes off, use a slotted spoon to remove the eggs from the hot water. Place them into a bowl of ice water. The ice water will stop the cooking process.
-
Step 6Allow them to cool and remain in the ice water for approximately 15 minutes.
-
Step 7Once the eggs are cool, start the peeling process by gently rolling the egg to break up the shell.
-
Step 8Once the shell is slightly crushed, start peeling.
-
Step 9When the entire egg is peeled, dip it in a small bowl of water or place it under running water to get rid of any excess shells.
-
Step 10The perfectly boiled egg with a nice and yellow yolk is ready to be used.
