Peel Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs

Peel Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs

Eggs are the perfect food. I eat them almost anyway that they can be fixed – fried, scrambled, poached and of course, hard boiled. However, nothing is more frustrating that losing half the eggs when you try to peel them!

I have tried every recipe out there from the Betty Crocker cook book recipe to using new eggs vs week old eggs and everything in between.

This recipe works, though, every time. Whether you are making hardboiled eggs to eat whole or making my Best Egg Salad, you won’t be left with a bunch of chewed up looking eggs.
