Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs by Angela Roberts

Making perfect hard boiled eggs is easier than I thought. What is a perfect hard boiled egg anyway?

A perfect hard boiled egg has the yolk cooked all the way through, but not overcooked and has no dark ring around the yellow.  It has to be easy to peel so you can make deviled eggs.

    Turned out wonderful, thank you, now it’s time to mix, but I usually stick with mustard and miracle whip and dig thru the frige for a little twist and I like spicy food, will also mince a sweet onion to ad to the yoke mix. Didin’t take but a few minutes to peel 18 eggs and that is what I enjoy, thanks again, I have a lot of homemade other recipes if interested and my boneless, skinless chicken breasts melt in your mouth, I’m talking twice as tender as say a boneless, skinless chicken thigh. Have nice day

    I have ALWAYS trusted your recipes, and I refer ladies to you all the time.
    THIS is why!!
    The eggs came out exactly as you said and they PEELED!!
    I’m enchanted!! Singing your praises!!

      1. Help! My yolks were runny! I didn’t cook long enough? Can I make this night before or just boil eggs and then mix the next day? Love all your recipes!!!

        1. I don’t know how your eggs were runny. Once the water is rapidly boiling, cover turn off heat and wait 12 minutes. They will not be runny with these directions, as I made this all the time.
