I love making devilled eggs. I love making egg salad. But I do not love hard-boiled eggs because I had always had a rough time cooking them. I always undercooked them (dark yellow in the center) or overcooked (grey around the yolk). My mom said there's a million ways to do it but I've found that her way works the best.
1. Cover eggs with water in pot.
2. Bring to a boil (with lid on) and let boil for 3 minutes. At the 3-minute mark, turn off the burner and let it sit with the lid on for 10 minutes.
3. Take them out of the pot and put them in a bowl with ice. Let them cool off. This will make the shell easy to remove.
4. Peel the egg. When I peel mine, I crack the bottom and top and then, roll the egg on the counter. Then, I peel it under the faucet.
5. Slice it in half and check out your perfect egg. :)
The thing I love about these are that eggs are cheap (like, 20 cents each when you break it down), they are a great source of protein, and they can make so many recipes. My preference is devilled eggs. But that will be another post probably.
