  • Serve and enjoy: Eat immediately or store for later.

COOKING TIME

TIPS

  • Easy peeling tip: Adding a teaspoon of baking soda to the boiling water helps loosen the eggshell for easy peeling.
  • For softer yolks: Boil for 7–8 minutes for a slightly jammy centre.
  • Customise the seasoning: Try smoked paprika for a deeper flavour or add black pepper for extra spice.
  • Make it creamy: Mash the egg and mix it with a bit of Greek yoghurt or mustard for a spreadable texture.
  • Store properly: Keep hard-boiled eggs in the fridge for up to one week in an airtight container.

VARIATIONS

 

  • Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes.
  • Herb Infusion: Sprinkle fresh chopped parsley, chives or dill for added freshness.
  • Mediterranean Twist: Drizzle with olive oil and top with black olives.
  • Avocado Pairing: Serve with avocado slices for a nutrient-dense snack.
  • Deviled Egg Style: Mix the yolk with mustard and Greek yoghurt for a healthier deviled egg alternative.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

 

  • Refrigeration: Store hard-boiled eggs unpeeled in an airtight container for up to 7 days. If peeled, consume within 2 days.
  • Freezing: Freezing is not recommended, as egg whites become rubbery when frozen and thawed.
  • Meal Prep Tip: Boil multiple eggs at once and keep them stored for a quick protein boost throughout the week.
