Notes
Chef Notes:
Make-Ahead:
You can make these up to 1 day ahead of time but are best served immediately.
How to Store:
Keep in cool water in a container for up to 3 days.
How to Reheat:
If you want to serve these warm, add to boiling water in a pot for 2-3 minutes. Peel and serve.
Sometimes eggs smell a
little funky, to cut that smell add some plain distilled vinegar to the boiling water before cooking the eggs.
It does not matter
if you use brown or white eggs when making boiled eggs.
To help peel the
egg, run it under luke-warm water.
