Easiest Way To Hard Boil Eggs

Have you ever volunteered to take Deviled Eggs to a get-together? Maybe you boiled the eggs but the shells refused to come off. You were so frustrated that you felt like cutting the shells off with a knife, or just throwing the whole egg out the window.

This method of hard boiling helps immensely with that problem! It’s wonderful. My mother-in-law found this through something Rachael Ray did.

1. Put the eggs in cold water and rapidly bring them to a rolling boil.
2. Turn off the stove and let them sit for 10 minutes.
3. Drain the water. Put the lid on and shake the pan to crack the eggs.
4. Put cold water in the pan and let it sit for a while – at least 30 minutes.
5. Peel and enjoy. If it works correctly the shells will come off super easy!

Deviled eggs are my favorite thing to do with hard boiled eggs. I usually just mash the yellow, add mayo and paprika. Then another friend of mine brought deviled eggs that were delicious! So I begged to know how she did it.

Here’s the recipe for deviled eggs.

For 6 eggs you add the following to the yokes:

• 2 tablespoon mayo
• 1 teaspoon vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• a dash of pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
• 1 teaspoon prepared mustard
