Use eggs that are a little less fresh : an egg that is too fresh is less easy to peel. If it is 5 to 7 days old , it will be ideal for this preparation.
Add a pinch of salt or a dash of vinegar to the water : this reduces the risk of cracking if a shell splits during cooking.
Store them in their shells in the refrigerator for up to a week . Once peeled, consume them within 2 to 3 days .
What to do with your hard-boiled eggs?
They are perfect for enriching a mixed salad , filling a sandwich , or even for a quick appetizer ( long live deviled eggs! ). You can also grate them on avocado toast , chop them into a potato salad , or serve them cut in half with a dab of homemade mayonnaise .
The secret? Just the right timing
There’s no need to overcomplicate things: the key to avoiding the green ring is simply not to overcook your eggs … and to cool them quickly . An easy habit to adopt, for hard-boiled eggs that are always at their best – as pretty as they are delicious .
