Notes: To cook hard boiled eggs: do not used cracked eggs. Place a single layer of room temperature eggs in an appropriate size saucepan. Eggs should have enough room to move around in the pan without constantly hitting one another. Place enough cold water in the pan to cover the eggs by at least 1 or 2 inches. Add salt to water to make it easier to peel eggs. Place eggs over high heat until they come to a rolling boil. Remove the saucepan from heat and cover Immediately. Let eggs sit for at least 15 minutes in the covered pan. Place eggs under cold running water or in a bowl of ice water to cool quickly. When cool, tap each end of an egg against the counter top to crack the shell. Hold each egg under cold running water as you peel it by carefully separating the thin membrane between the shell and egg white. Cut each peeled egg in half lengthwise, place on tray and set aside until ready to use.
Eggs will keep for up to 1 week in the refrigerator.
