Sometimes making the perfect hard boiled egg isn’t as easy as one would think. I can’t even tell you how many times it hasn’t worked out for me. Embarrassing, I know!
Every time I made them I had to call my mom. For some reason I couldn’t remember how! Maybe it’s because I’m sleep deprived…we’ll go with that. One time I wrote the instructions down and put them somewhere safe, so safe, the next time I needed them I couldn’t find them anywhere.
Looking online proved useless because there are about 7,200 different ways to make them apparently. I have never had a successful hard boiled egg when I cooked them for 10 minutes…that’s not long enough. I always use large eggs…so that could be the reason. Anyway…
I am posting the directions today, even if it’s for my benefit more then anything but I hope you can benefit too.

I have the worst time with hard boiled eggs! Last time, I even just bought the premade ones at Costco and used those for deviled eggs. They were a lot more beautiful than mine ever are! But I will try it this way and see what happens!
I'm always willing to try a new method! Those little egg hearts are kinda amazing! Thanks for sharing wiht us at Fiesta Friday!

Just wanted you to know that I will be featuring this project on an Easter Egg round up as part of the create link inspire party. Thanks for linking up!
Excellent tutorial - it's so important to get the basics right! And it's so easy to forget them ... Thanks for bringing this post along to Fiesta Friday! I hope you enjoy the posts, it's such an exciting mixture this week.

It amazes me how something so simple as boiling an egg doesn't always mean it works. Thanks for sharing the secret with us at #OvertheMoon Link Party. I've pinned and shared.
Ohhh... I always let mine boil for a few minutes before letting them sit, but I find they're hard to peel. I'll try this to see if they peel more neatly. Thanks for sharing at Funtastic Friday!
Oh so it should be 20 minutes. I only do 10, maybe that's why I don't get the right yolk hardness. Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for sharing it over at Food Friday. Excited to see what you’ll be sharing next! :D
Good timing. I make mine this way too. Thanks for sharing at the Inspiration Spotlight party. Shared
Back to basics is always a good idea, it's easy to get the timing wrong and ruin your eggs! Thanks for sharing with FF:)
