I shared this method for perfect hard boiled eggs at Christmas, I promise it works and you don't need old eggs, salt, vinegar or anything else. In many batches I have only had one egg break as I was putting it into the boiling water and never one dinged up egg.
- Take eggs out of the fridge and set aside.
- Boil enough water in a big enough pot to cover the amount of eggs you want to make.
- Carefully add the eggs to the boiling water one by one with a big spoon.
- Reduce the heat just a bit, you still want the water boiling but not crazy. I use #7 on my electric stove.
- Boil for 15 minutes.
- Drain hot water, and cover eggs with cold water till cool. I pour the cold water off a couple times.
- Drain water and peel or refrigerate until ready to peel.
- Peel under running cold water.
Now for the fun part! I used Martha Stewart's dye recipe, all pantry ingredients.
- One tsp white vinegar (I used cider vinegar) and 5 to 20 drops of food coloring per one cup of hot water.
- Peel the eggs, and dip them into the different colors. Let them sit until you've achieved a color that you like. Blot dry.
- Cut in half and make your favorite Deviled Egg recipe!
- Have fun watching everyone flip over the cool eggs:@)
Notes:
- I used 4 drops of food coloring and let them sit in the cup for about 7 minutes.
- I did taste just the white of the egg and I could not taste any vinegar.
- Just imagine them for every holiday or in sports team colors!
Updated to show the cutter I used ($2.99 at TJ Maxx a couple years ago) and Wilton 1M tip for the filling:
Have a happy day:@)
