How to Make Hard-Boiled Eggs

Ingredients:

• Eggs (as many as you like)
• Water

Instructions:

1. Place eggs in a pot:
   • Arrange eggs in a single layer and cover with cold water (about 1 inch above the eggs).
2. Boil:
   • Bring water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook:
   • Once boiling, cover the pot and remove from heat.
   • Let sit:
     • Soft-boiled: 6–7 minutes
     • Medium: 8–9 minutes
     • Hard-boiled: 10–12 minutes
4. Cool:
   • Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water for 5 minutes to stop cooking and make peeling easier.
5. Peel and enjoy:
   • Crack the shell gently and peel. Eat plain, with a pinch of salt, or slice into salads or sandwiches.

Tips:

• For easier peeling, use slightly older eggs rather than very fresh ones.
• You can store unpeeled hard-boiled eggs in the fridge for up to 1 week.
• Spice it up: add paprika, pepper, or hot sauce for extra flavor.
