PERFECT HARD BOILED EGGS

Farm-fresh eggs are the first ingredient here!

Until meeting Brian, I didn't think there was a 'right way' to make hard boiled eggs.. however his culinary school would disagree!

Tools:

• Stove

• Pot

Ingredients:

• 4 eggs

• Water

Method:

• In a saucepan, place 4 eggs and fill it with water.

• Turn to high heat and bring to a boil.

• Reduce heat to simmer.

• After 5 minutes, turn off heat and leave the eggs in the pan until it cools down.

• Once eggs have cooled to a handling temperature, place the entire pot under cool running water and then drain.

• Do this a couple times to ensure the eggs are not too hot. (Alternatively let the eggs cool for 15 minutes.)

• Remove the shell.

All done and ready to eat!

Looking for a quick and portable snack?

• I love to bring hard-boiled eggs to work with some pita, leftover rice or in a salad. In the winter I will bring soup.

• After removing the shell I like to add sea salt and fresh ground pepper, paprika and maybe a drizzle of some hot sauce and lime.

• By adding oil and an acid like citrus or unpasteurized apple cider vinegar you can mash up hard boiled eggs into a tasty mayo-less egg salad. Chop up a few pickles and bob's your uncle! A tasty and healthy trans-fat free protein packed portable snack.
