🥚 Boiled Egg – Simple, Healthy, and Delicious
Boiled eggs are one of the easiest and most nutritious foods you can make—perfect for breakfast, snacks, or adding to meals.
🧾 How to Boil Eggs
1. Place eggs in a pot
- Put eggs in a single layer
- Add enough water to cover them by about 1 inch
2. Bring to a boil
- Heat on medium-high until water starts boiling
3. Turn off heat & cover
- Once boiling, turn off heat and cover the pot
4. Let sit (based on doneness)
- Soft-boiled: 6–7 minutes (runny yolk)
- Medium: 8–9 minutes
- Hard-boiled: 10–12 minutes (fully set yolk)
5. Cool
- Transfer eggs to ice water for 5 minutes
- This stops cooking and makes peeling easier
🔥 Tips
- Older eggs peel easier than very fresh ones
- Gently tap and roll egg to crack shell before peeling
- Add a pinch of salt or vinegar to help prevent cracking
🍽️ Ways to Enjoy
- Sprinkle with salt & pepper
- Slice on toast or salads
- Make egg salad or deviled eggs
