How to Boil an Egg

This is one of those life skills everyone should know how to do, but it seems like the only time most of us do this is around Easter.  I know, I found myself constantly looking up directions online when I needed to make hard boiled eggs.

Eggs are great for LCHF. They are a quick source of protein. But like everything, don't pig out on them.

Basic Hard Boiled Eggs

Water
ice (optional)

• Place the eggs in a sauce pan. There should be only 1 layer of eggs.
• Fill the saucepan with water, until the eggs are covered by at least one inch.
• Heat the pan on the stove, until the water is boiling.
• Cover the pan and remove from heat.
• Let sit for 12 minutes
• Remove the eggs from the hot water and put in cold or ice water.
• Drain and Refrigerate

12 minutes is a recommended time. If you find out that your eggs are too runny, let them sit for longer. If too hard, let them sit for shorter amounts of time.
