Tips

Prepare your eggs and then try the Creamy Egg Salad Sandwich or Rhonda’s Deviled Egg recipes.

Hard cook eggs, don’t hard boil. The cooking water must come to a full boil in this method, but the pan is then removed from the heat. The eggs will continue to cook gently in the hot water. This method produces tender eggs. It also reduces cracking and the green color that can form around yolks when eggs are hard boiled.

Store in a covered container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
