This simple yet flavorful procedure of boiling eggs comes from the American cook and television presenter, Rachael Ray. Nutrition is an important part of any diet, and eggs are no exception. Eggs provide essential vitamins and minerals that are essential for overall health and well-being. In addition to being rich in protein, eggs are also low in calories and packed with nutrients like vitamins A, D, and B12. Plus, they contain important minerals like zinc and iron which help to keep your bones strong.
Fill a large pot with enough cold water to cover the eggs and add 1 tablespoon of salt. Bring the water to a rolling boil over high heat, then reduce the heat slightly but maintain a simmer.
Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water using a slotted spoon. Let them simmer for 10 minutes. Then remove them from the heat and let them cool in a bowl.
Carefully peel the eggs and serve warm or cold, as desired.
Notes
For easy peeling, try adding some baking soda to the boiling water before adding the eggs.
If you prefer a softer-boiled hard-boiled egg, reduce the cooking time to 8 minutes for a slightly runny yolk.
For a firmer yolk, cook for an additional 2 minutes after 10 minutes of boiling.
