let’s talk about eggs

I have a fool proof method to make yourself the perfect soft boiled or hard boiled egg, every single time.

Place eggs in a pot and cover with about 1 inch of cold water.  Bring to a boil, count off 30 seconds, turn off heat, cover and set timer for 3 minutes for soft boiled and 10 minutes for hard boiled.  Drain and run under cold water for a few minutes. Perfect, every single time.

Soft boiled eggs…. top the eggs immediately when done to prevent overcooking.  Earth shattering I know. Make some toast, cut into fingers… not exactly rocket science either.

Egg Salad

4 boiled eggs cooled, peeled and chopped

2 tbsp chopped parsley

1/2 tsp dry mustard

1/4 tsp paprika

salt and pepper

mayo to bind

sometimes if I’m feeling really frisky I add finely chopped red onion and gherkins, for some extra crunch!

Mix everything together…. couldn’t be easier now could it?
