Read below to find out how to make YOUR perfect boiled egg!
How to Make the Perfect Boiled Eggs:
- Bring water in a pot to a roiling boil.
- While the water is heating up, take the eggs out of the refrigerator (they can sometimes crack open if they go straight from the fridge to the hot water).
- When water is ready, carefully place eggs in the water (I use a large spoon to do this easily). Ensure that there is at least an inch of water or so above the eggs.
- Cook eggs to the desired amount of time according to the image below.
- Once the time is up, take the eggs out immediately and place them in a bowl of ice-cold water and let sit for 5 mins.
- Crack off the shells and enjoy!
Use this image below to understand how long to boil your eggs based on your personal preference.
I personally prefer 8-9 minutes! If you want them harder than what is pictured with the 11-minute egg, then just go for a little bit longer.
And that’s it! So easy! Now you’ll be a boiled egg PRO! Make sure to share this with your family and friends who might need some help.
