Learn how to make hard boiled eggs with perfectly soft, creamy yolks every single time with these easy step by step instructions! Eggs are such an easy, healthy way to add protein any time of day. To be honest, I never cared for hard boiled eggs growing up. The yolks were always dry with a dark gray-green ring around them because they were overcooked. When they’re cooked properly, they’re so much more enjoyable. I’ll take a soft, creamy yellow yolk over a dry one any day of the week!

Instructions

1
|
Place the eggs in a medium sauce pan in a single layer, and fill the pan with enough water to cover the eggs by 1 inch.
2
|
Place the lid on the sauce pan and cook on medium high until the water begins to boil. You’ll know that the water is boiling because the lid will rattle and the pot will release steam.
3
|
Remove the pot from heat and let stand covered for 8 – 12 minutes, depending on the desired level of doneness.
4
|
Place the eggs in a large bowl of ice water for 5-10 minutes or until cool.
5
|
Peel if ready to use, or store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
