How to Make Hard Boiled Eggs
/One of the most simpleist ways to extend the life of your eggs is to hard boil them, and the possibilities are endless for what you can use hard boiled eggs for: switch up your breakfast, on-the-go snack (yes, even on the canoe!), post workout protein, salad topping, deviled eggs, egg salad. painted or dyed Easter Eggs. I love eating hard boiled eggs for a morning snack in the office or after my lunchtime workout.
There’s more than one way to hard boil eggs, but the method I prefer allows for easy peeling afterwards (as well as controlled but varied softness of the egg yolk - but we’ll get to that on another post). So let’s get started! Check out my short video below on how to hard boil eggs. If you prefer the written recipes, then continue scrolling down.
