Next to the fabulous avocado, this is my perfect salad food. Not over done, very yellow-orange (the more orange the better) and oh-so-nice to have any time of day. If you ask me, a properly cooked egg is the true test of a cook. I'm still working on my frying technique but this even I can do!
My Perfect Hard Boiled Egg
6 eggs
1 pot
salt
cold water
Gently place eggs into the bottom of your pot and fill with cold water until eggs are covered with about an inch of water. Place on stove and bring to a soft rolling but not wild boil. (Too much jostling will crack your eggs.) Let it boil for 2-3 minutes then cover and remove from heat. Allow them to stand for 30 minutes undisturbed. Tip: Set a timer or you'll forget about them! Rinse with cool water and enjoy alone with a few pinches of salt, as the finishing touch to the perfect salad, or place them in the refrigerator for later eating.
