PERFECT STEAMED BOILED EGGS RECIPE

Steps:

• If serving eggs cold, add 1 tray of ice cubes to a large bowl and fill with water.
• Add 1 inch of water to a large pot. Place steamer insert inside, cover, and bring to a boil over high heat. Add eggs to steamer basket, cover, and continue cooking, 6 minutes for soft-boiled eggs or 12 minutes for hard-boiled.
• Serve immediately if serving hot. If serving cold, immediately place eggs in bowl of ice water and allow to cool for at least 15 minutes before peeling.
• To peel, first gently tap hard-boiled eggs all over to thoroughly crack the shell, then remove shell under a thin stream of running water. (The water helps get under the shell and lift it off the egg.)

STEAMED (BASTED) FRIED EGGS

Steps:

• Spray a non-stick frying pan (size to accomodate the number of eggs) with oil spray. I often use well-seasoned cast iron skillets.
• Place the pan over medium heat.
• When pan and oil are heated, break eggs and place in pan with some separation between eggs.
• When the egg whites begin to turn opaque (about 1 minute depending on how hot your "medium heat" is, pour water into the pan
• Cover the pan tightly
• Cook for 30 seconds before looking at the eggs
• Cover the eggs after checking and cook until the eggs are the desired degree of doneness.

HARD-STEAMED EGGS

Steps:

• Place a steamer insert into a pot and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to just below a boil. Add eggs to steamer insert and steam for 15 minutes.
• Immediately transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water until cool enough to handle. Make a small crack on the large end of each egg and place eggs back into the ice water for about 20 minutes. Peel.
