Key steps for « Perfect Eggs » !

Prior to cooking:

If you keep the eggs into the fridge, take them out some minutes before; if they are too cold, the eggshells may crack due to the difference in temperature.

Put enough water into a saucepan (the eggs must be totally covered) and add a pinch of salt, this will help the shells to be removed easily.

For a centered yolk:

Put the eggs in the saucepan only when the water comes to boil. In order to have centered yolks, you must turn the eggs with a spoon during the first minutes.

Cooking:

Let the eggs cook in the boiled water for around 10 or 12 minutes.

Once the eggs are boiled, put them in a bowl with very cold water (with ice cubes, if possible), this will stop the cooking and will avoid the shell sticking on the egg white.

 

It is ready!
