Boiled Eggs - Almost Perfect Food

Enjoy a boiled egg for breakfast or snack. One egg has 13 essential nutrients in varying amounts – including high-quality protein, choline, folate, iron and zinc – for 70 calories. Eggs also play a role in weight management, muscle strength, healthy pregnancy, brain function, eye health and more. We hard boil six eggs at a time and store them in a used egg carton in the fridge for a convenient snack.

The Perfect Hard-Boiled Egg:
1 - Place eggs in a large saucepan. Cover them with cool water by 1 inch. Slowly bring water to a boil over medium heat; when the water has reached a boil, cover and remove from heat. Let sit 12 minutes.
2 - Transfer eggs to a colander; place under cool running water to stop the cooking.
