Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs Ingredients
- Eggs
- Water
- Ice - medium bowl filled with ice water
After baking the eggs, immediately place them into ice water for 2-3 minutes. Hard-boiled eggs are the easiest to peel if you peel them under cold water, right after they have been in the ice bath.
The water in the muffin tin is important as it helps prevent the eggshells from forming scorch marks while baking. If baked without the water the eggshells, as well as the egg whites, may have scorch marks.
One simple way to enjoy your perfect hard-boiled eggs is with a drizzle of warm olive oil, ground black pepper, and a pinch of flavored sea salt. Together the olive oil, salt, and pepper will bring out the flavor and turn basic boiled eggs into a beautiful breakfast.
