How to Make Hard Boiled Eggs

eggs

🥗Healthier: egg whites

💰Cheaper: generic brand eggs

Egg whites reduce cholesterol while providing protein.

Place 4 room temperature eggs in a pot.

Add enough water to cover the eggs, about 1 quart.

Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the water.

Put the pot on the stove and bring the water to a boil.

Once boiling, turn off the heat and cover the pot.

Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 17 to 20 minutes.

Prepare an ice bath with cold water and ice cubes.

Immediately plunge the eggs into the ice water to stop the cooking process.

Crack the egg around the top where the air sac is located.

Peel the eggs while they are still warm, preferably under running water.

If an egg sinks to the bottom, it is fresh; if it floats, it is stale.

Store peeled eggs in salted water for up to a couple of days.
