If you've ever tried to hard boil an egg, you know that timing and temperature are everything. The last thing you want is an undercooked egg or a green yolk. So here, are some quick tips to perfect your egg game.
You can cook eggs in various ways including: in the oven, in the microwave, or in a pot of boiling water. Whatever way you choose to cook your eggs, place the eggs in a bowl of ice water immediately after cooking. This will stop the cooking process and help keep the yolks from turning green.
Once you have your hard-boiled eggs prepared, you can gather the rest of your ingredients.
If you've opted to remove the yolks and take this recipe a step further by preparing the yolks as a filling vs simply cutting the eggs in half, feel free to complete this step now.
