Hard-Boiled Eggs

Serving Size:

6 eggs

Time:

12 minutes

Difficulty:

Easy

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• Water to cover
• Ice, optional

Nutrition Bonus

• Helpful Hint: “Older” eggs, those that have been sitting in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks, are best for hard-boiling, as they tend to peel more easily after boiling.

Directions

1. Place the eggs in a pot and cover 3/4 of them with cold water.
2. Bring the water to a boil.
3. Cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for 12 minutes.
4. Transfer to ice water or run under cold water for about 5 minutes.
5. Peel and serve or refrigerate for later.
