Easter Hard Boiled Eggs

Easter Bread Picture



The fresher the egg, the harder it will be to peal it. You should purchase your eggs 2 weeks prior to cooking them in order to get them to peal easy.

The way to get the yolk to be in the center of the egg after it's boiled, is to store them on their side. This relieves the pressure on the membrane within the egg that holds the yolk suspended.

The green coloring on the outside of the yolk is caused by cooking them too long. Cooking by the directions below will eliminate that.

1. Place the eggs in a pot with enough cold salted water to cover. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes only, then take off the heat and let the eggs sit in the pot, covered, for an additional 10 minutes. You'll get perfectl;y hard boiled eggs using this method, without the outside of the yolk turning green.

2. Drain the water out and either run cold water in or use ice cubes. If you don't cool them off quickly enough, they will develop a green skin between the yolk and the white.

3. Peel the eggs, quarter and plate them.

4. If you wish to dye them, purchase "Paas" dyes other another edible dye version and follow the package directions.
