Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs

Hard boiled eggs are one of those things that seem effortless to make, but can actually be a bit tricky to get just right in my opinion. For years my hard boiled eggs would be hard to peel, not hard boiled enough for my liking, or get that grey ring around the yolk. My mom recently showed me the method for perfect hard boiled eggs and I will never stop making them this way!

How to Make Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs

In a pot, place your desired amount of eggs in the bottom.

Cover them with water, put the lid on your pot, and bring everything to a boil over medium-high heat.

Once the pot begins to boil, turn the burner off but leave the pot covered on the burner for exactly 12 minutes.

When the 12 minutes are up, drain the water and immediately fill the pot with cold water. Let sit for 30 minutes before transferring the eggs to the fridge until you’re ready to peel and eat them.
