Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs- Everytime!




We make hard boiled eggs every week when we prep for our week's lunches.

Makes 12
Ingredients

1 dozen XL or large eggs
1 Tbsp of salt
Ice

Add eggs to a small saucepan (approx 2 qt) that has a lid.  Add water so that the eggs are completely covered by 1/2 to 1 inch.  Make sure that every egg is covered! Add the salt


Over high heat, without the lid, bring the eggs to a boil.
Once the water has started to boil, set the timer for 1 minute.
After the minute is over, cover with the lid and reduce heat to LOW
Set the timer for 11 minutes.
At that time pull from the stove and drain the hot water.  Cover the eggs with a mound of ice. 
Add cold tap water and let sit for 5 minutes.  Drain and refrigerate for another use.

I used these for my Mango Prawn Cobb Salad.
