For those of you who are newbies to this whole cookin’ game, here’s a special post & show for you on How to Boil Eggs…

Soft boiled eggs, hard boiled eggs, I like them and all of it in between. My favorite way to eat boiled eggs are soft and runny, so I can dip my toast into the goo. Man, that’s a tasty breakfast!

Full of protein, these eggs are great on their own as a meal, or added to dishes like Niçoise salad, macaroni salad or as egg salad all on their own. Maybe you want to make some killer deviled eggs?

For athletes, this is an inexpensive protein you desperately need in your diet. Take note!

In a small pot, add water to cover one egg, egg and salt.
Bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer.
Set your timer for what type of boiled egg you’d like listed below.
Once timer sounds, immediately drain the pot of boiling water with egg in it, and then run cold water into pot continuously in the sink to cool down the egg and the pot.
Let egg sit for 1-2 min. Drain water, which has increased in temperature again. Flood with more cold water and let sit for another few minutes. * Tip: This cold water trick should help release the membrane that’s hard to peel off with the shell sometimes, from the egg too.
