Boil Eggs Like a Pro

For the perfect hard-boiled eggs, follow these tips and tricks:

  • Bring ½ to 1 inch of water to a boil in a large saucepan.
  • Carefully add in your eggs using a pair of tongs or a large spoon.
  • Cover the pan and allow the eggs to cook for 12 minutes. For extra-large eggs, allow them to cook for 13 minutes.
  • Allow eggs to cool completely under cold running water or in a bowl of ice water.

The best part about hard-boiled eggs? They can be repurposed in so many recipes!

  • Mix chopped hard-boiled eggs into potato or pasta salad for extra protein and creaminess
  • Slice eggs and serve over avocado toast
  • Make a snack plate featuring halved eggs, cheese, crackers and fresh veggies
  • Dice eggs and serve in a tossed salad. Eggs + veggies = increased absorption of nutrients

Don't Toss Your Colored Easter Eggs
      • When crafting this spring season, do not leave eggs out of the refrigerator for more than 2 hours, and be sure to use food-safe dyes. To ensure your eggs stay safe during egg hunts, avoid hiding eggs in spots where they could come into contact with lawn chemicals, pets or wild animals.
      • When stored in the refrigerator, hard-boiled eggs can be safely enjoyed within 1 week of being cooked.
      • To ensure eggs stay fresh, be sure to store them in the coldest part of your fridge at 45 degrees or below – never in the refrigerator door.
