Boiled Eggs

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 1 pinch salt

Method

  • Fill a medium saucepan three-quarters full with cool water (enough to cover the egg)
  • Add a good pinch of salt and add in your eggs.
  • Bring the water to a boil and then reduce to a simmer.
  • Start your egg timer as soon as the water starts to boil (there are also apps you can use)
  • Cook for the following times, depending on how you like your egg yolks: 3mins for runny; 5mins for semi firm; 8mins for hard boiled.
  • NOTE if cooking for snacks, we recommend hard boiling.
  • Once done, immerse them immediately in cold water. Once cool, peel to enjoy OR leave whole (unpeeled) in fridge for 3-4 days.

You can use more than 3 eggs if you desire! Cook as many eggs as you need for the week!
