Boiling the Perfect Egg
Ever Googled “How to boil the perfect egg?” You’re not alone—it’s one of the hottest cooking questions on the internet! 🥚 When it comes to deviled eggs, nailing that perfect, creamy-yolked (non-greenish/gray ring), easy-to-peel egg is key. After all, half the fun is seeing those flawless halves ready for the filling!
Here’s a simple method to get it right every time:
-
Place your eggs in a pot, covering them with cold water about an inch above the eggs.
-
Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Once it’s bubbling, cover the pot, turn off the heat, and let the eggs sit for exactly 10 minutes.
- Transfer the eggs to an ice bath (a fancy way of saying “bowl of ice water”) and let them chill out for at least 5 minutes. This stops cooking and makes peeling easier.
Voilà! Perfectly boiled eggs every time. And yes, you can stop Googling it now. 😉
DIY Piping Bag for Picture-Perfect Deviled Eggs
No piping bag? No problem! Making your own is as simple as grabbing a zip-top plastic bag. Here’s a quick and easy way to pipe that delicious filling without any special tools:
- Spoon your filling into a sturdy zip-top bag, pushing it down toward one corner.
- Twist the bag to remove any air, keeping the filling concentrated in the corner.
- Snip a small hole in the tip of the corner where the filling is—start small, as you can always cut a bit more if needed.
- Now, gently squeeze to pipe your deviled egg filling with precision and flair!
You’ll have gorgeous, pro-style deviled eggs in no time—minus the fancy piping bag.
