Hard Boiled Eggs
Place eggs in a pan of cold water
Bring to a hard boil
Cover and remove from heat
Set sit for 15 minutes
Place eggs in an ice bath
Remove each egg and crack shell all around
Place back in ice bath for 10 minutes
Gently peel each egg and rinse with cold water
I have found that older, not expired, eggs work best when making hard boiled eggs. They are easier to peel.
Eggs are now ready to enjoy in your favorite dish.
