Best No Fail Hard Boiled Eggsparmesan Deviled Eggs Recipes

NEVER-FAIL HARD-BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Fill a pot with enough water to cover all eggs. Bring to a boil. Lower eggs gently into the boiling water using a slotted spoon.
• Return to a gentle boil and cook for 13 to 15 minutes, depending on how firm you want the yolks. Remove from heat and drain water, keeping eggs in the pot. Fill the pot quickly with cold water to cool eggs. Add ice to speed the process.
• When eggs are cool enough to handle, remove each one and gently crack the shell on all sides, without removing any shell. Place eggs back in the cold water and let stand for 15 minutes. Peel and remove egg shells to serve.

NO FAIL DEVILED EGGS

Steps:

• Place the dried peas or beans on a large plate. Take one whole hardboiled egg and mash with a fork until you can no longer see the white of the egg. Cut the remaining eggs in half, remove the yolk and place into a bowl with the whole egg that was already mashed. Place the halved eggs on top of the dried peas or beans...this will prevent the eggs from sliding around and depending on the color of dried peas/beans creates a beautiful presentation.
• Mash the yolks with the whole egg that was previously mashed. Add the remaining ingredients until you have a smooth consistency.
• Spoon the yolk mixture into the cavity of the halved eggs. Sprinkle with paprika. Serve cold...enjoy!

EASY PEEL NO FAIL HARD COOKED EGGS

Steps:

• Bring the water to a rolling boil - not a simmer.
• Using a push pin (what you would use on a bulletin board, or something similar) gently poke a hole in the fat end of the egg. It's easy to do. This will prevent the egg from breaking when you put it in the water, however, if you skip this, only the occasional egg will pop.
• Using a slotted spoon gently lower each egg into the boiling water, get them all in quickly.
• BOIL - not simmer - the eggs for 6 minutes.
• Turn off the heat and let eggs sit for 6 minutes, this will give you a very slightly moist yolk, add 30 seconds or so to boil time if you like them a little drier -to your preference.
• Remove eggs using the slotted spoon and set on a towel or (as I do) in a dish rack, allow to cool to room temp or until you can handle, don't put in cold water.
• Crack and peel shells, they will slip right off, the whites are tender so be gentle!
• Chill and use as desired.
• To cook more eggs increase the volume of boiling water, it should remain boiling when the eggs are added.
• HINT: To season the eggs nicely for lunches, snacks or deviled, put the peeled eggs in a ziploc bag and sprinkle with salt to taste and refrigerate overnight, makes a big difference in the flavor.

DIVINE HARD-BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Place eggs in a pot; pour enough water over the eggs to cover. Cover and turn stove to high; bring to a boil; turn off heat and place pot on a cool burner. Let the pot sit with the cover on for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, fill a large bowl halfway with cold water; transfer the eggs from the pot to the cold water. Replace the water with cold water as needed to keep cold until the eggs are completely cooled. Chill in refrigerator at least 2 hours before peeling.
