How To Make Perfect Hard Boiled Eggs
Creating Pickled Deviled Eggs is easier than you might think. Start by hard-boiling a dozen eggs by boiling them in cold salted water-enough to cover all the eggs by one inch. The trick to having eggs peeling easily-add a few splashes of white distilled vinegar into the water! Once all eggs have been carefully placed into the water, turn on the stove on high and bring the uncovered pot to a boil. Once the water is boiling, shut off the stove and cover the pot with a lid and leave in the pot for 10 mins. After, carefully place the eggs in an ice bath to cool the hard boiled eggs. Works like a charm!
