It is an incredibly versatile ingredient that never disappoints. In fact, it’s a non-negotiable snack in my meal prep routine. I always make sure to have hard-boiled eggs and raw ones readily available in the fridge.”
Ingredients
4 Eggs
Water (to cover the eggs completely)
2 TSP of white vinegar (IMPORTANT )
Directions
- Place the eggs in a pot. Make sure they are in a single layer and not stacked on top of each other.
- Add enough water to the pot to cover the eggs completely. The water level should be about 1 inch above the eggs. Add the vinegar.
- Place the pot on the stove over medium heat and bring the water to a boil.
- Once the water reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat to low and let the eggs simmer for about 15 minutes.
- While the eggs are simmering, prepare a bowl of ice water.
- Remove the eggs from the hot water and transfer them to the bowl of ice water. This helps stop the cooking process and makes the eggs easier to peel.
- Let the eggs sit in the ice water for at least 5 minutes to cool down completely.
- Gently tap the eggs on a hard surface to create cracks or you can help yourself with a tsp and move the shell. Peel the shell off
- Rinse the peeled eggs under cool water to remove any shell fragments
