I can produce very few things in the kitchen and used to turn out the grossest hard boiled eggs. But, I’ve finally learned the way to do it impeccably and wanted to share here: boil the water first without the eggs. Once boiling, use a spoon to drop your egg(s) in (this part is important since otherwise the egg will crack). Set a timer for exactly 7 minutes and cook for no more no less. Then drain the eggs and immediately soak them in cold water (add ice cubes if you have them) to make them easier to peel. And voilà, you’ve made non-gross hard boiled eggs and have an easy, high-protein lunch or lil snack ready in your fridge (eat within 2 days for best experience).

i am at a point where i consistently never get the weird grey ring around the yolk… thats how i know i’ve perfected the art…
let your eggs come up to boil with the water and then turn off the heat… 10 minutes later, dunk them into an ice bath or a constant rotation of cold water if you dont have ice… stops the cooking and voila you have perfectly boiled hard boiled eggs… ta da !

i’ve realized that i like a 7 minute egg more because of how weirdly gooey a 6 minute egg can be. 7 mins is the sweet spot for those who are scared of runny eggs. boil your eggs and then place into a bowl of ice water for a few minutes. peel and pop them in the fridge. i usually cut them in half and sprinkle some everything but the bagel seasoning from trader joe’s on top! eat them with cucumbers and pita with labne on the side. such an easy spring/summer lunch!
