Hard Boiled Eggs

November 16, 2023

Perfect hard boiled eggs have a solid egg with a solid yolk as well. Perfectionists will also try to target when the total center of the yolk (with a diameter of about ¼” or less) is shiny and almost runny. Hard-boiled eggs are great for sandwiches, salads, or even a quick healthy snack.
