Perfect Hard-Boiled Eggs
If you are worried about perfectly hard-boiled eggs, I have you covered. For easy-to-peel hard-boiled eggs:
In a large pot, cover the eggs with cold water. (There should be about half an inch of water on top of the eggshells.)
Next, bring the water to a boil, stirring occasionally to balance the egg yolks.
Cover and remove the pot from the heat.
Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 14 minutes.
Pull the eggs out and immediately shock them with an ice bath for about 5 minutes.
To help with removing the shells, place the eggs under cool water while peeling.
Can I Hard-Boil The Eggs Ahead Of Time?
Sure! If you want to get a head start on the deviled eggs, hard-boil the eggs in advance. Then, store them in an airtight container, unpeeled, in the refrigerator for up to a week. Keep in mind that if you store the eggs ahead of time, once you make the deviled eggs, they should be served right away.
