If You Eat Boiled Eggs

Ingredients

• Fresh eggs (as many as you need)
• Water
• Salt (optional)

Instructions

1. Place the eggs in a pot and cover them with cold water.
2. Add a pinch of salt if desired (this can help prevent cracking and makes peeling easier).
3. Bring the water to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
4. Once boiling, reduce heat slightly and cook for:
   • Soft-boiled: 4–6 minutes
   • Medium-boiled: 7–9 minutes
   • Hard-boiled: 10–12 minutes
5. When done, immediately transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water or run under cold water for a few minutes to stop the cooking process.
6. Let them sit for at least 5–10 minutes before peeling.
7. Enjoy plain, or season with a pinch of salt and pepper!

Tips:

• Older eggs are easier to peel than very fresh ones.
• Store boiled eggs in the fridge for up to one week.
• Boiled eggs are a great source of protein and nutrients like choline and vitamin D.
