Learn how to make the perfect hard-boiled eggs with a creamy yolk and no green ring. This simple method guarantees success every time.
Ingredients: 4 large eggs. Water.
Instructions: Place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Add enough water to the saucepan to cover the eggs by about an inch. Place the saucepan on the stove over high heat and bring the water to a rolling boil. Once the water is boiling, turn off the heat and cover the saucepan with a lid. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 9-12 minutes, depending on your desired level of doneness. 9 minutes for soft-boiled and 12 minutes for fully hard-boiled. While the eggs are sitting in the hot water, prepare a bowl with ice water. After the desired time has passed, use a slotted spoon to transfer the eggs to the bowl of ice water to cool rapidly and stop the cooking process. Let the eggs sit in the ice water for at least 5 minutes to ensure they are fully cooled. Tap the eggs gently on a hard surface to crack the shell, then peel the shells away. Enjoy your perfect hard-boiled eggs!
