Perfect Boiled (Hard-Cooked) Eggs

Sunday, February 24th, 2008

It took me a long time to learn to boil an egg!  That sounds crazy, but I tended to boil them too long, and they’d end up almost sulfur-y.  Finally I discovered the best way to cook them, and now they always turn out perfectly.  I always boil a dozen eggs and make deviled eggs each month when we have our church potluck dinner - and there are never any left to take home.  I also love to use them for egg salad occasionally, too.  Once or twice a year, I crave a good egg salad sandwich. 

Perfect Boiled Eggs (Hard-Cooked Eggs)

Place eggs (however many you want) in a saucepan.  Add enough cold water for an inch of water above the eggs.  Bring to a rolling boil.  Cover the pan and remove it from the heat.  Let it stand for 10 minutes.  Then drain and rinse under cool water.  Peel under running water.
